1. Log into Wordpress Admin panel > > Settings >> General and change both the WordPress address (URI) and Site address (URL) to new address
2. Once done, please log into cPanel >> File Manager >> open location of your current Wordpess installation and simply move the files to new directory with the help of "Move File" tool. You can also do this via FTP account if you wish.
3. There still may be some items that will resolve to old URL and as a rule will not be available from new location. In order to move all the files to new domain name, you can use plugin called Velvet Blues Update URLs. You can get more information on it here: http://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/
NOTE: it is important to indicate correct URL name to change to since wrong one may cause downtime of the website and it will not be restorable after the changes are applied.
Once done, please check if all the pages are working as intended. It is also possible that some of the pictures may resolve from old direction. This can be fixed by re-uploading paghes from new direction or changing theme settings for your Wordpress installation from Admin Panel.
