If needed, Kerio Connect enables you to rename your domain in a simple way.
Warning
Ensure that you have purchased a domain from your provider and that its name is registered in DNS records. Test your domain first.
Make a full backup of your message store before and after the renaming process (how to run a new backup, refer to chapter 15.2 Back-up of user mailboxes and basic server configuration).
Renaming of the domain will take effect upon the server restart. Before the restart, all operations will be performed using the original name.
The domain configuration will not change after renaming.
During the server restart, the original domain name will automatically be replaced with the new name in the configuration files. The original name will become an alias (see table 7.1 Rename Domain).
