Changing a Sub Domain to a Domain

What is the procedure to change my subdomain URL website to a domain URL website? I have all the links in the subdomain for the subdomain so what do I have to do?
I am told that the search engines will not pick up a site in the search so I will need to change to a Domain.
Thank you.

Buy ladyanndesigns.com if it is available

or .net


then can transfer your files over to new domain after the 24 - 72 hours it needs to fully propogate.

Re: Changing a Sub Domain to a Domain

I bought ladyanndesigns.com for three years.

How do I transfer it now? Who do I tell?
Do I have to change all my links inside now to the new domain?
Thank you,

Re: Changing a Sub Domain to a Domain

Search engines have no problem over picking up sub domains. I have had sub domains in number one position on Google.

If your site won't rank on the sub domain then it won't rank with a full domain name.

Getting back to the original question we first need to know if you bought the domain from Bravenet or from a different registrar.

I bought it from Bravenet.
I began this site in September 2010 of this year and I want to do all I can to make it work. That is good to know about subdomains but I bought it already when I was logged on Bravenet and clicked Domain.
