If the server is dedicated, does it evaluate the hostname at all?<br />
As in: Do you get the normal content when browsing to its IP address rather than its name?<br />
In that case, adding a DNS record for <a href="http://www.yyyyy.com" rel="ugc">www.yyyyy.com</a>&nbsp;should mostly suffice.

Neither site has a dedicated IP address.<br />

I am hoping for a solution that I can handle using cPanel.

Use the function of domain parking from your WHM. You can also just rename the domain name from WHM.

Will renaming it not wipe out any files?<br />
<br />
Also, does renaming with WHM set the correct DNS entries?

<div>
Yes. Whm Will do all the renaming without deleting files. It Will change ownership, change database names, usernames. It Will not change the passwords. You Will need to update your connection string if you are using database. It Will also update the DNS.

I have a dedicated server using WHM/cPanel.<br />
<br />
I have a current domain on the server (e.g. <a href="http://www.xxxx.com" rel="ugc">www.xxxx.com</a>)<br />
<br />
I want the full content of that site transferred to a new domain name (e.g. <a href="http://www.yyyyy.com" rel="ugc">www.yyyyy.com</a>)<br />
<br />
I then want the first domain (now empty) to point to the second domain.<br />

What is the best way to do this?

Move a site to a new domain name on the same dedicated server

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web Servers

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
