Domain Question

[Twisted Fairytale]

Hey guys, I currently have a project to work on, but I have a problem: we don't have a name for it yet! So, I want to develop it under a domain name, and when we get our other name, I want to transfer all of my data and project (a PHPBB3 forum) to that domain name.

Is that possible, easy, and realistic?

You can Just park the new domain with your host, then update it in the admin panel.

I guess a more clear way to ask my question is:

Can I work on a site under domainone, then move it to domaintwo once I register the second?

Yes, there's no issue there. It's actually simple, you need only to change your phpBB3 settings to reflect your new domain name. It's been quite awhile since I've touched phpBB3, but it's a short process.

If this domain change also involves a move to a new host, then you will of course need to ensure you import your MySQL database as well, and change your settings to reflect as such.

Thank you kindly, Ghouling! =) This will really help out, since I am itching to get a head start on it! =)
