There are two ways to change the domain on your Magento application:
-
Magento’s backend
For Magento 1.9.x and older:
Access your Magento’s admin dashboard and modify the base URLs under:
System -> Configuration -> Web (Under the General section) -> Unsecure
and
System -> Configuration -> Web (Under the General section) -> Secure
Make sure that you change the “Base URL” to match your new domain.
Clear the Magento cache (System -> Cache Management -> Flush Cache Storage) and test your website.
For Magento 2.x and newer:
Login to your Magento admin area and navigate to:
Stores -> Configuration -> General -> Web -> Base URLs
and
Stores -> Configuration -> General -> Web -> Base URLs (secure)
Modify the base url input boxes and with your new domain and click on Save Config.
The last step is to clear the cache of your Magento, under System -> Cache Management -> Flush Magento Cache.
-
Using phpMyAdmin
The process is applicable for both Magento 1.x and 2.x versions.
Access your phpMyAdmin, navigate to your database and find the core_config_data table.
Click the Browse tab and edit these two fields:
web/unsecure/base_url
web/secure/base_url
The last thing you need to do is clear the cache of your Magento. More on that can be found in this article.
