Hello! What, specifically, do you mean by 'replace'? There are a few different things you can do in this situation and the steps for each are a bit different. 

If you want to change which domain is your cPanel's Primary Domain, simply follow this guide. Keep in mind, though, that this only changes the domain in cPanel. If this is a WordPress site, you will still need to update your site's home and site URL, and deal with any site links using the old URL.


Given that, I usually suggest just cloning the site with Softaculous into the new addon domain. Hope that helps!
