    Just create a subdomain in cpanel for your new install, then dev your new site on that subdomain. Once it's all set, go into phpMyAdmin of your new install database, export the whole db, open up in a text editor, find/replace your new subdomain with the live domain you're moving to, save file. Move your assets/theme folder for the new site to the live site location. Import your new site SQL file into your live site DB (save your old DB just in case). Make sure the site_url variable in the SQL file is your new site too. That should be it.
