I currently have t35 hosting, and my domain name is not fit for my current site... So... How can I change it once I register a new name with a registrar.. How do I make it work with my current hosting plan?

I want to have my current name go to a subdirectory using addon domain, and have a message saying "We Have Moved click here to go to the new home page"  Or something along those lines.

The only way to change your main domain is to delete your account and create a new one with the new domain. This would require you to completely back up your account and re-upload everything, including your mysql.

Couldn't I just add a parked Domain, and when my other domain name expires, just let it expire, then have that parked domain point to my main account?

another thing... Why does the sign up say unlimited domains? Then when I go to CPanel it says:
10 Parked domains
10 Addon domains

You could do that as well. I wasn't aware that your domain was on the verge of expiring. Be aware though that both domains are going to point to the exact same thing so there's no easy way to have a link on the current url that tells people to goto another url.

The 10 parked/addon domains is just a way for us to guage how many domains we have on the server. All you have to do is email either Alex or myself if you ever meet your max and we will increase the number allowed for you.
