Moving a Magento store to another domain is actually very straight forward. Just copy the fileset across and import the database. Once that's done change the base_url entries in the core_config_data table:

SELECT * FROM `core_config_data` WHERE `path` LIKE '%base_url';

in PMA or similar and change the relevant entries to the new domain. Also worth checking a cookie_domain is not set as this will, cause issues if it's wrong:

SELECT * FROM `core_config_data` WHERE `path` LIKE '%cookie_domain';

and update or even remove the relevant entries.

The last thing you will need to do is update the database connection details in the file app/etc/local.xml.

From here you will want to clear all cache and sessions by deleting the contents of the var/cache/ and var/session/ folders, clear your browser cookies and that literally is all you need to do.
