Do I need to create a copy of the site when changing the domain?

Question

Domain name market

You need to change the domain from site.ru to site.com. But at the same time, do not lose traffic from the PS and it is desirable to keep the puzomerki.

As I understand it, the procedure is as follows:

1. I register a domain
2. I make a copy of the site
3. I put a 301 redirect, edit robots.txt and enter information about the main mirror in the webmaster panel in Yandex and Google.

Is it possible to make site.com the main domain without creating a copy of the site on another hosting? If so, how? The site is made on wordpress.

Answer 1

To make gluing of domains? Then you do not need to make a copy of the site.

Answer 2

Answer 3

at the domain registrar:
site.ru and site.com - make A-records for one IP address of your server.
when processing server host rules, do a redirect to another domain.
