# Rebranding: Should I Change My Domain Too?

Rebranding? Decide whether you need a new domain, and what to send us if you do.

A new name, logo or brokerage doesn't have to mean a new website address. You have three options:

| Option                              | What happens                                                                       | Good when                                                                |
| ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Keep your domain**                | Only your branding changes. Your address, search history and links stay the same.  | Your domain is your own name, or still fits.                             |
| **Point a new domain at your site** | Your site keeps its main address. Visitors who type the new domain land on it too. | You want the new name to work but don't want to move.                    |
| **Change your main domain**         | Your whole site moves to the new address, and the old one sends visitors over.     | The old name no longer fits, for example it includes your old brokerage. |

## What changing your main domain affects

* **Google:** your site's search history is tied to the old address. Google moves it to the new one over time when the old address redirects properly, but expect your traffic to dip for a while.
* **Links everywhere else:** update your Google Business Profile, social profiles, email signature and directory listings with the new address.
* **Email:** if your email uses your domain (like <you@yourname.com>), we need to keep its settings working. Tell us what email you use.
* **Your dashboard:** after the change, you log in at the new address, usually with the same login.

## How to request a domain change

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Buy the new domain

Register it at a domain company like GoDaddy or Namecheap. Check the spelling carefully, since we use exactly what you send.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Email us the details

Send <support@agentfire.com>:

* The exact new domain
* Where it's registered
* What should happen to the old domain: send visitors to the new one, or be used for something else
* Whether you use email on either domain, and with which provider
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Give us access

We'll need access to the new domain at the company you bought it from. Don't send your password. Use the "delegate access" feature instead. For GoDaddy, see [How to Delegate Access Using GoDaddy](/launch/nameservers-and-access/articles-1505033-how-to-delegate-access-using-godaddy.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Approve the fee

A domain change has a one-time fee, listed on our [pricing page](/faqs-and-general/common-questions/articles-1504919-agentfire-full-pricing-list.md). We'll confirm the cost and get your OK before we start.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### We make the switch

Our team moves your site to the new address and sets up the old address to send visitors over, where we manage it. The new address can take a little while to work everywhere. We'll let you know when it's done and send your new dashboard address.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Changing your nameservers isn't enough on its own.** Pointing the new domain at us is one step. Our team still has to switch your site over to it.
{% endhint %}

## After the switch

* Log in at the new address. If the login page loops or looks wrong, clear your browser's cache or try a private window.
* Update your links on Google Business Profile, social media and directories.
* If you use Google Search Console, tell Google about the move with its [Change of Address tool](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9370220). Your new site needs to be verified there first; see [How to Verify Your Website With Google](/faqs-and-general/common-questions/how-to-verify-your-website-with-google.md).
* Keep paying for the old domain for at least a year so the redirect keeps working and nobody else can buy it.

## Common Questions

<details>

<summary>Can I use my new domain without changing my main one?</summary>

Yes. We can point the new domain at your site so both addresses work, and your main address stays the same. Email <support@agentfire.com> with the new domain and where it's registered.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Will my email keep working?</summary>

It should, as long as we know about it before we start. Tell us your email provider so we keep its settings when we change anything.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Does the fee include a redesign?</summary>

No. The domain change only moves your site to the new address. A new logo, colors or layout is separate; ask us if you'd like help with that.

</details>

<details>

<summary>My listings disappeared after I changed brokerage. Is that the domain change?</summary>

Usually not. Listing sections often show only your brokerage's listings, so they need updating when you move. Email <support@agentfire.com> and we'll fix them.
