I would like to copy site from one domain to another. What is the best way of doing it.
by this i mean i would like to transfer my site www.domain_old.com to domain_new.com This is been done to get better search engine rankings. The site is loaded with number of modules and i need some expert advice doing this.
I have control of both the webhosting cpanel.
Some one please suggest.

just change mainfile.php to reflect the change..

change www.domain.com to domain.com in the url path..

as long as the directory path is the same. (i'm presuming you aren't changing servers)

but i don't see any reason search engines rank higher when omitting the www. part of the url :S

Thanks a lot monty.
Actually my site name is indiamachineshop.com and is ranking 1 in major search engines but i want the site to rank for machine tools, so i took one more domain www.machinetoolworld.com
Since i made all the developments on indiamachineshop i cannot redirect just machinetoolworld here what i want to do is copy all the site www.indiamachineshop.com to www.machinetoolworld.com then redirect indiamachineshop to machinetoolworld
Hope u understand what i want to convey.

I am thinking of parking the domain and then using just change of site name it may help in making better and faster change than re designing or transfer of the site.
any suggestions.

Go to Webmaster Worldwhere they have extensive forums and have very specific advice on how re-direct, parked domains and so on can affect search engine ranking.
