Parked domain and changing the account domain

[superfly]

I've got an account in WHM with domain name domain-1.com. Onto this account I've parked a domain-2.com. Now I wish to loose the domain-1.com and stick only with domain-2.com.

How do I do that? Do I have to unpark domain-2.com first and then rename the account in WHM from domain-1.com to domain-2.com or ... ?

Somewhere said on these forums was that changing names/domains in WHM
causes huge headaches; personally I'd do things like this:

1. Unpark domain-2.com, set up its own WHM account.
2. Transfer MySQL/Files over to domain-2.com, edit as neded.
3. Test domain-2.com live, then delete old domain-1.com account.

Does anyone know what headaches are caused by renaming an account?

I have a customer who needs to change domain names for legal reasons. There are a large number of email forwards and accounts set up, plus some MySQL databases. I'd rather not mess around with copying all of this over to another account if there are some simple "headaches" I can work around.

Not to mention I'm not sure yet how to copy these account settings from one account to another.

Do not modify a domain's username or domain via WHM. This will cause huge problems in the future. Do as Jonathon has suggested.
