Replace a subdomain with a domain

This guide explains how to replace, within a Web hosting Infomaniak, the address of a site currently subdomain (https://dev.domain.xyz e.g.) by the main domain (https://domain.xyz).

Preamble

• Operations in brief:
  1. Start with a site created and accessible by the URL of the main domain dev.domain.xyz.
  2. We're adding an alias to him. domain.xyz.
  3. The two types are reversed (the main domain becomes alias and the alias becomes principal).
  4. We're taking the old name off. dev.domain.xyz.
• Note that the location of the site remains in the original folder on the server; the name of this location may be in the form /sites/dev.domain.xyz but this has absolutely no impact on the site in production.
• Also take note of the last chapter of the this other guide.
