How to Migrate Hubzilla Instance to New Hostname?

Hi everyone!

I was reviewing some of my web design decisions and noticed that the domain name of one of my project servers is a little too close to that of the hubzilla server I set up. I want to set up a new hostname for my hubzilla instance to live at, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

Should I just set up a new hubzilla instance from scratch and clone the channels over there? (which risks losing hub-specific data that has to live on the server) Or is there a way I can do this without setting up an entirely new instances?

Thanks,
ShadowKyogre

1. Create new instance with new hostname
2. Import all channels to new instance, choose to Make this hub primary location
3. Delete all channels on old instance
