I changed my website http://pokebattlesaus.x10.mx/ URL to http://deltaregion.x10.mx and it comes up as a server error. Can anyone help?

When you change the domain, the server needs some time (maybe a couple of hours, maybe a bit more) to update its file mapping domain name to account files.

Every time you change the domain, the process starts over.

That "Server Error" page is a placekeeper until the server can update itself. You just have to be patient.

Okay so when it has changed will all the Google search engine show the new URL or the old one and redirect?

It will show the old one.

You can add the old domain as an add-on.
Then, use htaccess to redirect requests for the old URLs to the new ones with a 301 Permanent Redirect . I believe Google will understand that and eventually just have the new URLs.
