Change host-named for site collection in SharePoint 2013

Today I'm facing with problem to change host-named of existing site collection to another. It takes me a lot of search with some issues in each steps. So I think that will be useful if I summarize something here to save my time in future and your time also.

In short, what I do exactly is:
 - Create new site collection with new domain
 - Deploy the website on it
 - Backup old site collection, then Restore on the new site collection

Before the begin, lets define some addresses I will use in detail steps.
WebCollectionAddr : that's the web collection address, ex: sharepoint-123:8888
OldSiteCollectionAddr : that's the old site collection address, ex: sharepoint-123:8888/sites/mysite
NewSiteCollectionAddr : that's the new site collection address, ex: mysite.com
I will use those above sites to demonstrate in each steps, so you should change it by your own sites.
Now we go in detail each step:

1. Create IIS binding for domain: 
 - Go to IIS Manager, click on your site under 'Sites'. You can see 'Bindings...' somewhere in the right content, click on.
 - Click 'Add'to add new and follow the step to create new site binding.

2. Create new site collection
 - Use sharepoint Powershell:
New-SPSite ‘http://NewSiteCollectionAddr/’ -HostHeaderWebApplication ‘http://WebCollectionAddr’ -Name ‘My site’ -Description ‘This is my site’ -OwnerAlias ‘domain\account’ -language 1033 -Template ‘STS#0’

 - Note: domain\account that account to login and have permission to create site collection

3. Check site is created
 - Use sharepoint Powershell:
Get-SPSite 'http://NewSiteCollectionAddr/'

4. Deploy the web site
 - Deploy the web site in the new site collection

5. Backup the old site collection
 - Use sharepoint Powershell:
Backup-SPSite 'http://OldSiteCollectionAddr/' -Path 'D:\SPBackup\bk_name.bak'

6. Delete old site collection
 - Go to sharepoint Central Administration > Application Management > Delete a Site collection
 - Select the old site collection then delete it

7. Remove the old site collection from recycle bin
 - After deleted, the site collection go to recycle bin, to restore data to new site collection, you should completely delete old site collection
 - To do that, you should get site id of old site collection from database 'AllSites' table
 - Use sharepoint Powershell:
Remove-SPDeletedSite -Identity 'GUID_SITE_ID'
 - Note: GUID_SITE_ID will be changed by site id, usually is guid text

8. Run Gradual Site Deletion Timer Job
 - Go to Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definations.
 - Click on job name: Gradual Site Delete. Click on Run now.

9. Restore to new site
 - Use sharepoint Powershell:
Restore-SPSite 'http://NewSiteCollectionAddr/' -Path 'D:\SPBackup\bk_name.bak' -HostHeaderWebApplication ‘http://WebCollectionAddr’ -Force

Follow those steps, if you have any futher issue please comment in this blog.

Thank you.

Time management and discipline are the things I should always care about.

It's exactly my problem now. With a few days left I must be done a lot of studies. I have a lot of work plus study technical and have to take 2 certifications by next week. HOW the hell can I arrange time to do all these things.

That is my issue right now, but what really make me in the bad emotion is what did I do when I'm having nothing happen at all? The risk when I waste my time to do something no value at all now become a big issue.

So now, I should come back to time management and discipline problem. I should careful about what I spend time for and should thinking next some steps in future.

Here is crazy list, I wanna memory it here;
1. Pluralsight: Building HTML5 and JS apps with MVVM and knockout JS
2. Knockout JS
3.Durandal JS
4 UT for JS: qunit
5. LESS CSS
6. Sencha Tough JS
7. Get 2 Microsoft Certifications: 70-483, 70-484
8. Wordpress

Living energy

Hi, everyone.
Today I feel like a dancer. I want to dance some very simple steps. When I'm a student (like you), I'm always being shy, I'm afraid people laugh me when I do crazy things (I mean dancing). Now, I'm not.
Let's dance my friends.

To become a good developer

For I good developer I want to become:

    Planning: getting the required information, tools and resources together;
    Designing: both high level (strategic) and detailed design during which we analyse the problem and work out how to solve it;
    Coding: actually typing in the lines of code;
    Compiling (if we are using a compiled language): running the compiler and correcting any errors until we get the program to run;
    Unit Testing: running one or more tests to check if the program is correct. While testing we sometimes have to correct errors to the design or the code and re-compile the program.

What do I hunt for my goal?

OMG
I always think I need to learn something new and modern such as: Android or iOS programming technical. But I forget a key to success when I learn a thing. I need to use my knowledge to learn more deeply in my technical. I mean I will learn something like: design pattern, software design, how to build a big software throw internet, information security and database manager...

I am in my way for study English, this year I cannot change my technical so much. But I already have plan to change my technical in next year. I need to be careful to choose what I will do, step by step to change my life. Surely I want to reach my goal as early as possible, but I each one step I need more careful. In my country we have a sentence:
"You want to fast, you must slower".
