Topic: Temporary domain for transition - transfer

Hi, I have a dating site. I will shift to VLDP in a few weeks.

I was wondering if I can use a new and temporary domain MYSITE.NET until all my existing members have moved in...

and then change the domain back to my original domain MYSITE.COM, once I close my original dating site.

I'm asking this because some software are built on the domain name with links everywhere (and thus require a new installation whenever the domain name is changed).

(I do not wish to transfer databases as it's too complex, risky and costly).

Plus, it's a way to weed out the inactive users and start afresh! smile

Another solution I imagined, was this:

Can I get custom vld personals hosting WITHOUT a domain name?
Then I guess maybe I can do some sort of redirection from MYSITE.COM...

What do you think?

Yes, sure, not a problem at all. And yes, you can get hosting without a domain name too.

Great, thanks Vlad. 

Then, i'll do a redirect and will get just your hosting (I guess the Advanced one) when vldp 3.0 is released.
I'm looking forward to that moment.

Wondering how many people here are also waiting for that release to get their first VLDP site up....

Is it advised to install the English version of VLDP and then load a different language when it's available?

I'm asking this, because waiting for my language version would delay installation.

It's way too early to ask questions about v3.
