# Assigning a Primary Domain

When you have multiple domain names attached to your Freewebstore, your primary domain is the web address that your customers are directed to.

Your other, secondary domains, act as redirects. This means that if any potential customers use any of your secondary domains to access your online store, they will be redirected to your primary domain. Your primary domain is your **home** domain, it is where your online store lives.

So, for example, my current primary domain is '[**www.freewebstore.com**](#undefined)**'**, but I want to change my new domain '**[www.freewebstorerocks.com](http://www.freewebstorerocks.com)'** to be my primary domain. I follow the instructions below and make '[www.freewebstorerocks.com](http://www.freewebstorerocks.com)' my new primary domain. This means that when my customers visit '[www.freewebstore.com](http://www.freewebstore.com)' they will now be redirected to '[www.freewebstorerocks.com](http://www.freewebstorerocks.com)**'** instead. 

### How do I change my primary domain?

To select any of your domains to be your primary domain:

1. Log in to your control panel.
2. Go to the **Marketing > Domain Names** section.
3. In the domain panel you wish to make primary, you will see a bunch of action icons. You are looking for the **Star** icon, click this button.
4. You will then be greeted by a confirmation pop-up asking you to confirm the changes. If you are sure, click **Yes, make Primary**.

You should then see that your selected primary domain will jump to the top of the list and a message of **SSL pending** will be visible. Attaching your SSL to your new domain can take up to 48 hours to complete. If you have any issues after this time, please [**get in touch**](https://admin.freewebstore.com/support_new_ticket.aspx) with our friendly support team.
