Easy change the main website on a subscription

Currently the main domain must be renamed to change the main domain. This is cumbersome, especially if e-mail addresses are still assigned to this domain, because they will be also renamed. It would be more convenient if another already existing domain could be set as the main domain, e. g. by clicking on a button "Set as main domain".

    Absolutely! Natural web site development flow is to create the site on a temp domain first then implement on main domain when completed. If you don't add the real domain first then you can't change it later. Subscriptions may service multiple domains.

    Subscription name should not be tied to one domain but should be free text, editable at any time.

    This is tied in with being able to assign a 'No hosting' type to all domains. Right now the Main domain has to be of type 'Website' if you have multiple domains.

    And if you have a single domain set to 'No hosting' you can't add any more domains.

    What if a client only purchases domain names and no hosting? They still need DNS access.

    Then later on that customer decides to purchase hosting and it converts to a 'Website' type.

    time to move on.. its a bit daft having a subscription path tied to the 1st domain added..

    This option can sometimes be useful but for Administrator only please.

    Our Plesk API connection with billing system will break when this changes.

    The path on the server will change, this could have consequences for web applications which use full server path in config.

    Not so important for us.

    Please add this. Would have made my live with moving a domain much easier... instead of merging a plan, I could just have added a domain, made it the main website and moved the original domain to a different subscription.

    We removed sub domain and deleted every things. So Yes, please.

    I have a suggestion to submit to you: let's start with an example. A customer has a subscription with unlimited domanis, but the subscription name is the name of the first registered domain. So if I look for a particular domain in subscriptions, I don't find it, and if I look for a domain in the domains section, it is there but it doesn't tell me which subscription it is associated with (but only the customer's name). Wouldn't it be more useful to have as a name, the type of hosting (for example single site, unlimited etc. etc.)in which to see the active domains? This is also because, I use WHMCS and, only the name of the first domain activated is shown in the customer control panel.
