   I had my site located here: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~mpetkov/wordpress/
   I wanted to move it to my hosting plan on goDaddy. So I copied the whole folder and I also made a new database on my hosting. Now for some reason the links go between both of the servers. The new link is this:
   http://marinpetkov.com/projects/wordpress/

   What should I do to correctly move the site from the first server to the new one?

   The issue is the blog URL. You can change in Admin > Settings > General, or use the following query to do so manually:

   UPDATE wp_options SET option_value='http://sub.domain.xyz/' WHERE option_name='siteurl' OR option_name='home' LIMIT 2;

   How do i do it manually? Because I already updated the domain name and know I cant log in the control panel.

   Unless you're comfortable with the MySQL CLI.

   You might need to check and or update permalinks afterwords. Who knows.. might not be an issue.

   ok I fixed it, I opened up the database in notepad and changed all of the old URLs with the new one.
