I am about to change the domain name for the hosting.
I will have to change the information in board settings -> site details.
Is that it?
Thanks in advance Smile
yes, board url & cookie settings should be changed.

Thank you but do I have to do this after adding the hosting account to the new domain name?
I use godaddy and they said, I will have to remove the primary domain name and after 24 hours, I will be able to add that hosting account to another domain name.
So, after that I will have to follow those steps. Is that it? Smile
^ yes, better to wait for the domain propagation to complete.

So, there will be a downtime then?
I don't want to mess up ..so...(_ _)
^ well, you should notify users that there can be a downtime of 24 hours to 48 hours ..
