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.
