    My primary domain will expire and my site is under an addon domain

    Hi,

    2 years ago, I registered for a domain name and a webhosting account. When I tried to change the primary domain, the web hosting company told me that I should pay 15$ for the process. Now, I live in a country where I can't pay online... So I decided to make the new domain as an addon domain and move my site to this new domain. my primay domain will expire after 6 months and I don't want to renew it. What will happen if my primary domain expires and my site is still under an addon domain?

    Thanks.

    It will be fine. Just make sure you redirect the content from primary domain to addon domain

    It is normally free to change primary domain for a account, however as you say you move your site to addon domain it will work fine even after 6 month but not to forget renewal of your account

    Do they still sell your hosting package? Is there a setup fee? If not you could simply cancel the current service and sign up for a new one with your new domain.

    So as you said, there is no problem if I put my site under the addon domain without changing it to primary even after the expiration of the primary domain.
    I will try to find a way to renew my hosting account or register at local company...
    Thanks for your help.

    I sent them an email and they told me that I can't do that and my hosting account is the primary domain and the domain names are addon domains and they are just website names... I will move my site to the new addon domain and I will wait until the expiration of the primary domain to see what will happen...
    Thanks for your help.

    Why cant you do that? You can always cancel your service and sign up for a new one. What are the terms under which you signed up? Do you pay yearly, did the domain come as part of the hosting?
