Assuming you have www.domain1.com and want to move to www.domain2.com
First- you need to obviously buy and secure domain2.com
Second- you need to point the domain2.com namesevers to your current host
Third- you should inform your host or follow procedures for adding a new domain, you may be able to 'park' it in cpanel
OR
If you're moving to a new host make sure domain2 is properly setup and working with them
Fourth- If you moved hosts copy your files and database to new host, otherwise skip this step
Fifth - Change applicable URL/Domain settings in vBulletin options
Also update your domain name on file for your license in the vBulletin.com member's area.
Finally- start going to www.domain2.com - remove your vb fies from the first host if you moved to a new host.Comment
