Answer»

The .COM is the most popular TLD for web site names. But after giving it some thought, almost TEN minutes, I want to make it now .CLUB instead.
The are two forceful reasons.
1. Club is a word and represents a social group off people.
2. It costs less.

So, very soon my geek9pm site will not have the dot COM.
It will have the dot CLUB at the end.

(TLD = Top Level Domain)
How much price difference between .com and .club? And are you doing this through godaddy or some other place?What you should really do is get the .club domain long before the .com EXPIRES then set it up so the .com will redirect to the .club domain. This means that search engines.etc will properly understand that the domain has changed and will update their listings accordingly.I now have the CLUB WORKING and it is on the same server as the COM
In fact, it is the same start page.
Both are with Godaddy.
The renewal of the COM would be about $15 us. The CLUB goes for $1.
My domain is not a money maker of any kind, so there is not way it can pay for itself.
I was ready to just give it up, and then saw that the CLUB goes for $1 and thought to myself for a $1 I will do it.

What is the best way to redirect a domain?
You would usually set-up forwarding within the admin panel for wherever you registered the domain.

Flashing Yellow Arrows...

Will this work?

I can't find any flashing yellow arrows...
Update.
I now have my domain name changed. But there is a problem. The server is showing a subdomain,k not a top level domain. This might be due to delay in the DNS PROPAGATION. Sometimes it takes p to three days to resolve.

I should have used an alias rather than build a new directory for my word press blog. In hindsight an alias would have been a painless transition. I should have known better.
