# What do I need to keep in mind when changing my ChurchTools domain?

If you want to update the domain name for your ChurchTools — for example, if your church’s name has changed —there are a few things to keep in mind. We’ve compiled a list of them for you here.

## LDAP

If you change the domain and are still using LDAP, we'll need to check and update that on our end. Please let us know if that's the case.

## OAuth

You should check the URLs here if third-party systems are used.

## ChurchTools App and Chats

The app, including all your chats, will be transferred automatically. You don't need to do anything here.

## Groups and Registration Links

Registration links—including those via QR codes, such as on flyers—must be updated if you've used these links anywhere. If you use the ChurchTools Website, all groups and registrations are automatically synchronized.

## Wiki

Here, you need to check whether absolute links using the old domain were used.

## AVV

The AVV does not need to be adjusted.

## Customize the ChurchTools Website Domain

If you'd also like to change the domain for your ChurchTools Website, simply update your domain's [DNS settings](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/website-and-finder/domain-en/14-how-to-use-my-own-domain-for-my-website/) accordingly, then enter the new domain yourself in your website's settings at any time and activate the domain. We don't need to make any changes on our end. The web pages you've already created will remain intact.
