Reception123 added a comment to T7191: Change hosting to custom domain.

Hi, have spoken to GoDaddy (domain registrar) and they have confirmed that the nameservers have been changed to Miraheze as per above and it all looks okay on their end. The customer service person asked me to check with you if you had a link to the domain in your database, so setting up 'domain hosting' in their terms. If this doesn't work out they suggested setting up the A name or CNAME record (but unsure if I'd need to point the name servers back to them first, as they can't troubleshoot issues any further without it pointing back to them at this stage)

Hope this makes sense?

Dmehus added a comment to T7226: Request wiki domain swap.

@HopelessNightOwl If I'm understanding you correctly, Are you saying that you want the existing horrorstories.miraheze.org wiki to be deleted, then move creepypasta.miraheze.org to horrorstories.miraheze.org? In this scenario, creepypastawiki would become horrorstorieswiki, and creepypasta.miraheze.org would be no longer exist and become available. This would be much easier and simpler than generating dumps, deleting, and recreating wikis, if possible.

Other way around. Delete current creepypasta.miraheze.org, move horrorstories.miraheze.org to creepypasta.miraheze.org, and release horrorstories.miraheze.org for availability

@MarioMario456 This is quite an involved task and would take quite some time.
