I made the switch (changing root domain)

Changing the root or primary domain for my website was much easier than coming up with a new domain name. About a week ago I changed my domain name from www.twoplustwoentrepreneurs.com to www.singleidea.com. For most webhosts, the simple process will require that you contact your host provider to make the change. It costs about $5, but all email addresses are automatically configured with the new domain name. Just remember to adjust any settings in any third-party email client (i.e. MS Outlook) you may be using. It is very important to backup any subdomains and addon domains to insure that data isn’t lost when making the transition. Also be sure to backup any blogs, forums, web pages that you have associated with the initial domain. Luckily for me, I didn’t have too much content on the site, so I was able to complete most of the transition in less than a day. The only speed bump I encountered was in attempting to upload my Wordpress backup file. Fortunately, I was able to locate the contents in a php file and used Dreamweaver to copy the contents to Wordpress.
