Question for all you Web Developers out there...

[DaveJ]

Hey everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me, I've searched around on Google and through numerous websites, but I have been unable to locate an answer. I think this may be due to my ignorance of the exact terminology that I should be searching for.

I need to switch my website from one "host" to another. I use the term host loosely, and here is why.

I currently use an all-in-one platform (LearnWorlds) that handles my website, LMS etc., and over the last 6 months it has proven unreliable at best. I now need to completely rebuild my tech stack and website, which I am comfortable doing (I learn quickly), but there is one question that I just can't answer...

Everything is done through LearnWorlds at the moment, I want to build a brand new website on WordPress which will be hosted by another hosting service. However, how do I go about transferring the Domain from the old site to the new site? It'll take me a while to build the new site and test it out but then when it is ready how do I change the web address so that when people head to the URL they are taken to the new site? I don't want to have a new website address, I want to keep my original one.

The simple solution in my mind is creating a temporary website with a fresh domain e.g. www.dmassnew.com, and then when the time comes (after I've completed the rebuild) I can just change the web address for the new site to the correct one www.dmassold.com but I'm worried that it can't be this simple surely?

Thanks for any advice and experience doing this, and sorry for the daft question.
