How to change the current domain name to a new one without hurting SEO or SSL?

Hello masters,

I have a question:

Is it possible to change the current domain to a new domain without any hassle?

This is a detail of my work:
1) I deployed a website using Google Cloud and OpenLiteSpeed
2) I bought a domain on NameCheap https://endlesstoursportugal.com
3) Then I went on the VM instance, access SSH to issue an SSL Certificate for the new domain
4) Then I did all the DNS things with Google Cloud
5) I went on Cloudflare to register a new account to use the CDN
6) I then switched NameCheap DNS to Cloudflare DNS

Now because of the copyright of the name, we need to change the current domain name to a new one. I feel like it's going to be a mess.

Is there any idea? How do I access that SSH page again to reissue a new SSL certificate? What about Page Rules / forwarding URLs in Cloudflare? (I tried to use forwarding URLs but it then sends me back to my old domain, even thought I type the new domain)

You can try to enter https://coolexplorers.com to see, it will switch back to the old one.

Please help this dummy. Appreciate it!

First of all, this forum is for LiteSpeed Enterprise, not for OLS. OLS can use https://forum.openlitespeed.org/

second, on the OLS configuration side, you will need to update to new domain from the old domain mapping.
thirday, it depends on your application, domain URL may need to update from application URL.
For SSL, if you use let's encrypt, you should request new SSL certificate, you should use the same way to configuration new domain SSL certificate.

If you use cyberpanel, it should be more easier to issue a certificate.

Thank you so much for helping.
I tried to do it in the SSH but it's said Permission Denied
I don't know what to do. I posted in ther other forum also.
