Move a SitePad website to a new domain (Clone Site in SitePad)

GARMTECH uses SitePad as the current website builder option. If you created a SitePad site on a temporary domain/subdomain and want to publish it on your final domain, the recommended approach is to clone the SitePad site to the new domain.

Before you start

• Make sure the destination domain is added to your hosting subscription in Plesk (as a domain or alias).
• Make sure the destination domain’s DNS points to your GARMTECH hosting server (nameservers or A record), otherwise visitors will not reach the server.

1) Open SitePad in Plesk

1. Log in to Plesk from My.GARMTECH.
2. Open your domain and find SitePad (Website Builder).

2) Clone the site to the new domain

1. In SitePad, click Clone (or Clone Sites).
2. Select the source site you want to copy.
3. Choose the destination:
   • Protocol: select https:// (recommended; you can enable SSL in Plesk after cloning).
   • Domain: select your new domain.
   • Sub-directory: leave empty to publish to the root, or set a folder if needed.
   • Site title: optional (helps you identify the site in the SitePad dashboard).
4. Click Save and wait until cloning finishes.

3) Enable HTTPS on the new domain

• In Plesk, issue a free Let’s Encrypt certificate for the new domain (if available in your plan).
• Open the new domain in the browser and confirm it loads correctly.

Optional: redirect the old domain to the new one

If you no longer use the old domain, you can set up a 301 redirect/forwarding in Plesk so visitors are automatically sent to the new address.
