WordPress includes two settings that configure the address the website uses and the address on which the website files are installed. It is important to know these settings. They are used to determine how the website is currently configured. You may need to change them when migrating to a different location, changing the website to a new domain, or building the website for a domain that has an active website elsewhere.
Settings:
WordPress Address (URL) - Address visitors type in a browser to reach the website.
Site Address (URL) - Address where the WordPress files are installed.
There are two main ways you can view or change these settings.
Method 1: WordPress Admin Dashboard
Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard. You can use YourDomain.com/wp-admin or YourDomain.com/wp-login.php to reach the login.
Click Settings >> General
Update the WordPress and Site Address fields
Click the blue Save button at the bottom of the page.
Method 2: Update using cPanel >> phpMyAdmin
Log in to your chi.westhost.com account.
Select the cPanel button next to your hosting account plan in the Shared Hosting section.
Click the phpMyAdmin tool in the cPanel Databases section.

Find the records for “siteurl” and “home” in the option_name column. Select Edit next to the record to change the domain.
In the value field enter the domain you want the Wordpress website to use. Click Go to save the change.
