Change the Base URL of a Website in Power Pages

In Power Pages, you can update the base URL of a website after provisioning to meet organizational or branding requirements. This allows you to modify the website prefix while maintaining the same configuration and data.

For example, you can change a URL like contosocommunity.powerappsportals.com to contosocommunityportal.powerappsportals.com by updating the URL prefix in the Power Platform Admin Center.

Steps to Change Base URL

Go to the Power Platform Admin Center.
Select Power Pages Sites.
Choose the website you want to update.
Click Manage.
Select the Edit (pencil icon).
Enter a new URL prefix.
Check availability of the new URL.
Select Update to apply changes.

Important: When you update the base URL, the website will restart automatically. Plan this change during low-traffic hours.

What Happens After URL Change?

The website restarts automatically.
Old URL becomes inactive.
New URL becomes the primary access point.
Dataverse configuration remains unchanged.

Best Practices

Verify URL availability before updating.
Inform users before changing production URLs.
Perform changes during maintenance windows.
Test all integrations after update.
Update bookmarks and external links.
