What happens to existing landing page URL's when the Domain is updated in Admin?

Hey Community,

I received a request to update our company CNAME. I have added the new Domain alias, but now need to update the actual domain listed in the Admin section.

What will happen to existing landing pages when I make this change? Will all the current landing pages update to the new domain? I would assume they would remain unchanged but that new landing pages built would have the new domain. Also, what would happen if I clone a program with landing pages that have the old domain? Will the cloned program use the new domain or whatever domain was used when the original pages were built?

Any help here would be great!

Thanks!

    If you're updating the primary domain, make sure to add the old primary domain as an alias.

    Pages won't "remember" or be accessible via a domain that no longer exists at all.

      Thanks Sanford. Played around with this this afternoon and figured that out. Thank for the reply though!

      Additional notes on my discovery.

      All existing landing pages will update to the new value once changed.

      Nice to know that once you add a new Domain in Admin that the new prefix works on all existing landing pages, even with the old prefix. So our online ads guy can change all our adds to point to the new domains even though we have not actually updated the Domain in Admin to the new value yet.

      Hi Keith - does Marketo automatically 301 the old pages to the new? So if there's an email out there with a link to the old domain name landing page URL - will that get automatically redirected to the new domain landing page URL? Thanks in advance!
