Smart Updates:
Navigate to your WordPress section and simply click on the slider for Smart Updates to switch it off for the previous domain and then switch it on for the newly added one.
Speed Kit:
Navigate to your Speed Kit section and simply "Deactivate" the domain which you will not be using and click "Activate" for the desired one.
