I have a simple php+mysql webhosting account where currently a simple static site is serverd. Now I want to switch to WordPress, install, setup, configure and test everything and once everything is right, I want to flip a switch and then the new WordPress-based site should be served on the same domain.
I am new to wordpress is there anything I need to watch out for or is there a good tutorial about this?
For example: From other CMS I know they (especially the plugins) were rather picky when changing the root (sub)domain afterwards.
