Check out http://codex.wordpress.org/Movin…
Specifically, the section titled "When Your Domain Name or URLs Change." This it the approach that I use whenever any part of the URL for my WordPress install changes.
That codex article links to a search & replace script you can run (http://interconnectit.com/produ... which is easy to use and saves a ton of time.
It's simply a matter of:
1.) Uploading and running that script.
2.) Updating your .htaccess file with the new URL
3.) Moving all of your files on the server to the new location.The method mentioned above by shaft will also work, but I prefer this one because it's a more complete and thorough approach.
