I. Why swap hosting?

This section allows you to swap web hosting from your existing domain name to another domain name.

If you currently have a domain name with hosting, for example "mydomain.com", and you would like to combine this hosting with another domain name, for example "masociete.fr", you can do so!

All you have to do is follow the steps provided in this section to carry out the hosting swap and associate the "mydomain.com" web hosting with the new "masociete.fr" domain name. In this way, you will be able to benefit from all the advantages of your existing hosting on your new domain name.

II. Preparing for the swap
