Using a custom, branded domain (for example, yourbusiness.in or yourbrand.com) rather than a default server‑assigned temporary URL not only boosts professionalism it also helps with SEO, trust, and easier recall. Net2Secure lets you manage multiple domain names on your account and choose one among them as the primary domain, to which all other domains redirect.

Why Choose a Primary Domain?

When you have several domains connected to your Net2Secure hosting account (for example, yourbusiness.in, yourbusiness.com, yourbusiness.co.in), setting one as primary ensures:

• All alternate domains automatically redirect to your main domain.

• Search engines understand which domain is canonical, helping avoid duplicate‑content issues.

• Visitors always see the uniform URL, boosting your brand identity.

When to Set or Change Your Primary Domain

Typical Scenarios:

1. You just added a new domain and want it to become the default address for your website.

2. You rebranded and want a new name (e.g. switching from oldbrand.in to newbrand.in).

3. You unified multiple domains under one primary domain for SEO and marketing clarity.

How to Set Your Primary Domain via Net2Secure’s Control Panel

These steps assume you’re managing domains either through Net2Secure’s domain registration service or via domains connected through our cPanel‑based control panel.

Step 1: Log in to Your Net2Secure Account

• Go to the Net2Secure dashboard and log in.

• Navigate to Domains Hosting or Manage Domains from the main menu (depending on your package).

Step 2: View Your Connected Domains

• In the domain list, you'll see all domains linked to your hosting package.

• The current primary domain will be labelled others, marked simply as connected or redirect only

Step 3: Select the Domain to Make Primary

• Click on the domain you’d like to set as the primary.

• Look for an option labelled Set as Primary Domain.

Step 4: Confirm Your Choice

• A confirmation dialogue appears: This will redirect all other domains to this one.

• Click Confirm or Set as Primary, depending on the UI.

Step 5: Wait for Propagation

• The change usually takes effect immediately in your control panel.

• DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours some users may still land on the old domain, but will be redirected soon after.

SEO & Technical Considerations When Changing the Primary Domain

1. Update Google Search Console and Analytics:

• Add the new primary domain as a separate property.

• Use Google's "Change of Address" tool to inform it of the switch.

• Update your default URL in Analytics accordingly.

2. Update internal links and redirects:

• Make sure all internal website links use the new primary domain.

• Set up 301 redirects if you still host pages at the old domain.

3. Email & MX records:

• If you use email services tied to a domain (e.g. Google Workspace or custom mail), update DNS MX records to reflect the new primary domain.

4. Announce the change:

• Inform customers or website users via email, social media, or your blog.

• Update listings on directories, business profiles, and social media bios.
