Is it possible to change the website url in google analytics to a new domain and still keep old statistics. I tried changing it using "Edit" link below "Check Status" on the profile settings page, it changed on the settings page but it still appears with old domain to the left of UA Identifier on home page.

A: 

Google Analytics isn't domain specific so you should just be able to use the existing UA Identifier on your new domain and it will collect data.

I can't see of a way of editing the "Main Website Profile Information" but in theory it isn't necessary.

There IS a way to edit the Main Website Profile Information, (you click 'Edit'), but, as the OP said, its not working. Seems like a bug. But you're right that its not strictly necessary to change your domain in most cases.
