Thank you kindly, Leanne

Hi Leann ...

You can purchase another domain name, yes. You can't just change it without doing that ..

You can then just redo your website with all your links ..

But .. you have already links to your current website in search engine listings, so you don't want to lose that traffic .. so you should do a few things in this regard for as long as you still own the current domain - and that is apply redirects from all of those pages to your new website pages .. if you do this, then when someone clicks on a link found from a search or perhaps anywhere else you have planted it, they will be instantly redirected to your new website .. you would want to redirect all of your current pages as well .. each individually to the new site ..


As an alternative, you could just purchase this new domain and redirect it to your current website .. might be easier for you ..
