How to Replace a Temporary Domain with a Registered Domain Print

When an eligible domain is using a temporary domain, current cPanel provides a path to replace it with a registered domain.

  1. Open cPanel → Domains → Domains.
  2. Click Manage for the temporary domain.
  3. Select Replace with a registered domain.
  4. Enter the registered domain name.
  5. Click Update.

After replacement, the domain gains the DNS-editing and email capabilities that the hosting package provides.

If the temporary name is the account's Main Domain, cPanel's current documentation directs that change through the domain-renaming workflow instead of the normal replacement control.
