[BlueOnyx:17317] Changing host/domain name for a site

Have never tried this before, so I thought I'd ask first -

I created a test site a while back for someone at 
theirdomain.masterdomain.org for them to create a new site on our server 
and test it out prior to moving from their old hosting location to our 
server. Now they are ready to move. Can I just go into the GUI and 
change the host and domain for this site to www.theirdomain.org and 
expect everything to work? Obviously, I'll take care of the DNS settings 
also, but I was wondering if doing this will change the directory 
currently found at /home/sites/theirdomain.masterdomain.org  to 
/home/sites/www.theirdomain.org for instance.

Alternatively I could create a new site with the correct host and domain 
names and move the content, but it's a WordPress site and I'd rather not 
have to deal with moving the database also.

This is on 5108R if it makes any difference.
