Moving WordPress to a Domain Alias

[Don Lange]

What is the procedure for moving a WordPress site from the primary domain of a cPanel account to one of its domain aliases?

My client wants to switch domain names on his WordPress website and I'm looking for a more efficient method than creating a new cPanel account for the target domain name and performing a migration with Updraft Plus Premium.

Thank you,
Don

This is probably the most complete doc for that sort of thing:
Moving WordPress « WordPress Codex

HTH!

I'm going to set up a test scenario and perform a dry run before attempting this on a production site, but I have one question first:

Would I be better off starting with a cPanel Addon Domain rather than a Domain Alias as the target domain?

Thanks again,
Don

An Addon is what you want to use. A test scenario is a fine idea.

GL!

Thank you very much for the guidance.
