# How To Change Your Domain

Changing the domain for a site in StellarSites allows you to update the domain name for a site you’ve built. The **Reset Domain** feature makes this possible in just a few clicks.

## When to Use the Reset Domain Option

- You want to remove the current domain from the site and point it to a new one.
- You’re troubleshooting a domain connection issue and need to start fresh.
- You’re repurposing the site for a different client or project.

When you reset the domain, the site will temporarily revert to its default StellarWP subdomain (e.g., `opentradeadvice.stellarwp.site`). From there, you’ll be able to assign a new custom domain.

## Steps to Reset and Change the Domain

1. **Open the StellarSites Dashboard**
    - From your main dashboard, go to the **Sites** tab on the left-hand side.
2. **Choose the Site You Want to Manage**
    - Click into the site where you want to change the domain.
3. **Go to the Domains Tab**
    - Navigate to the **Domains** tab at the top of the screen.
4. **Reset the Domain**
    - Scroll to the bottom of the page.
    - Click the **Reset domain** button.
    
    This will remove the current domain and return your site to its StellarWP subdomain.
5. **Assign a New Domain**
    - Once reset, the option to add a new custom domain will become available.
    - Enter your new domain and follow the steps to connect it.

Once reset, the domain will revert to 'opentradeadvice.stellarwp.site'.
