Domain Change Help

**viperxx** · 02-05-2008, 08:14 AM

I currently have OlderHeads.com for my teen forum. Leaning towards to changing it to YoungerHeads.com since it fits better for teens and having OlderHeads.com for adults.

Do you guys think this is a good idea?

How big is your current community at OlderHeads?

Well, if you feel really strongly about changing domain names, then I would go about doing it now rather then not doing now and changing your mind later when your community has several hundred users.

And I would go about doing it in a transition. Have OlderHeads redirect to YoungerHeads until your members understand that it's changing over. I remember I was part of a gaming community which I really enjoyed, but had lost it because they changed the URL address. According to other members, they made an announcement about the change, but I wasn't there for the announcement -- so, they lost a very dedicated member because they didn't go about the right way of making the change.
