How to transfer a site with db to a different domain

PHP
1
  1. I have a website that I’ve copied the full backup in cpanel. 650 mb.
  2. I want to upload it to a completely different domain. (I’m not transferring the domain)
  3. Its built in php and I want to change any internal previous domain information so the new site functions as the old one did.
  4. There is a db.

So:

  1. Is there an easy method to Find/Replace internal page code domain name to the new one?
  2. How best to transfer the whole backup to the new domain (Filezilla, cpanel, other suggestion).
  3. Is it better to separate the db and/or do I have to create a new db in the cpanel and upload db separately.

I looked everywhere for this info and its never been answered this way from what I see. Thanks for any help.

Copy the contents of your site to a local directory in your computer. And create a new site in dreamweaver which point the site directory to the location where you copied the files. Then using dreamwever select Find and Replace option. You will find a top dropdown box in that popup. Select whole site. then enter the text to be replaced(old domain) with the new text(new domain) it shoul includes (links, scripts, styles, header redirects, etc.,). Then backup and export your database and import to new database. Then upload the site contents to new site using ftp.
