club 1307620, name change, wanted new freetoasthost site but number is proprietary. See that https remains old club web address. This interferes with google and other search engines. We type in New Club Name but can only get TI Find a Club Page. How can we change the secure web address? Can't set up new page because club number is attached to old club name.

The number is the number... the website is tied to the number. Just change the content and the name references in the content. The website goes with the club number, not the club name.

Since you are just using a website alias, just change the website alias to a new one via Admin Console -> Basic Settings.

Once you do that, everything should be set for access. The SSL cert is a wildcard cert for the *.toastmastersclubs.org domain, so it will handle the change automatically.

As far as SEO, you should probably get set up with Google Web Master Tools as that would allow you to explicitly request Google to re-index your website with the new name.
