I bought a new domain and I want to setup it.
These is what I did:
1. I did a back up of my files and database.
2. I changed in the wordpress panel, the 2 domains.
3. I added the domain in my hosting panel.
4. I changed the DNS in the Domain panel.
Is that alright??
What I need to do to change a domain for a website?
Maybe everything is fine and I just need to wait until they update my changes..
Please write what you think about it.
See the Codex page on Moving WordPress.

Hi,
Thanks but can you tell me if I did something wrong?
What would you recommend me to do now?
Is it possible to leave the files and database and just change the domain..? I'm not moving a webhosting, just a domain.
There is a link at the bottom of the page above that tells how to move WordPress to a new domain.

You have to wait for DNS to be spread around. It may vary between 24 and 72 hours.
And, you have to edit your database files to replace the old URL and any old email addresses with the new ones as described in the links above.
