So I bought a domain name (Realstreetfashion.com) with godaddy and linked the nameservers with my Alidropship Hosting. The URL to access the website is https://uf535101845791.alisrv.com My problem is that I want to change the website name which alidropship Hosting gave me to my domain name. If I change Site URL it to my godaddy domain name it says Server not found. And if I try to redirect the my main domain to my domain name it doesn’t work. Do you know how I can change my Site URL so when People type realstreetfashion.com my website comes?
]]>Can anyone help with a step by step?
Thanks a lot

I have always hated the ambiguity from hosting Companies So I became a Ressellor To host my own websites and Its been getting to the point where I am fine tuning please help by adding to this thread.
]]>I bought a deluxe Linux hosting account with GoDaddy. I installed WordPress on my main domain using the 5-minute installation and it was sucessful and easy. For this post’s purposes I’ll name the site mydomain.com.
I have multiple web sites I am re-designing for clients using WordPress. Please note their web sites are currently active and hosted elsewhere and I need to develop them at GoDaddy, wait for client approval and then switch name servers to GoDaddy to reflect and launch my new site design.
So I followed GoDaddy’s customer service rep’s instructions and created a secondary domain name under my account (myclient.com) and then created a sub directory (/myclient). So the site should show up at mydomain.com/myclient. I installed WordPress, chose myclient.com as the domain and installed.
Now, when you visit mydomain.com/myclient, the WordPress default TEXT ONLY shows up. No style sheets, no graphics, just unformatted text showing Hello World! and all the typical default WordPress text and it looks horrible.
AND when I go to mydomain.com/myclient/wp-admin to try to get to the WordPress Dashboard I get an error. Upon calling GoDaddy I’m told there’s no way to develop a web site using WordPress using an alias to a site that already exists…and that it is first finding the WordPress files I’ve installed at mydomain.com…
I asked if I could develop the site under a sub domain name of mydomain.com such as mydomain.com/myclient (without setting up a secondary domain name for myclient.com), install WordPress there, test and develop it there and then when it’s approved, move the files and database into the new secondary domain name I will create when the client switches hosting to me. GoDaddy said it couldn’t be done that way…
Can’t I re-install GoDaddy when the domain is switched to GoDaddy, upload all my changed and customized WordPress files using FTP and then somehow move the database with the new content and re-connect? Perhaps I am over simplifying it, and I’m not a tech person, but it doesn’t seem like it should be that difficult?
Can someone please advise? I’m stuck and don’t know what to do…I have several clients’ sites I need to begin a redesign on and need to work out this process.
Thanks for any help!
