I am currently working on a site at a temporary URL:
```
<a href="http://223.130.25.120/~jmbdrain/">http://223.130.25.120/~jmbdrain/</a>
```
I will soon be pointing the official domain which is
```
<a href="http://jmbdraincleaning.com.au">http://jmbdraincleaning.com.au</a>
```
to the existing hosting/db.

I think i am aware of everything i need to change in the admin area, but will the actual admin area itself automatically become
```
<a href="http://jmbdraincleaning.com.au/admin.php">http://jmbdraincleaning.com.au/admin.php</a>
```
or are there other changes i need to make to a config file?

Thanks.

Everything should work but the url is typically in a LOT of places. Whilst you don’t need it I find the REElocate addon just makes it a bit easier to manage and make sure you haven’t missed one.
