When you want to change your domain name for wordpress site. You need to first take backup of your file system and mysql database. Make sure that backup is completely taken. Verify with any wordpress developer. Then only you start the migration.
I already written detail article for this. You should read following article.

Here is list of mysql queries which are very important when you are doing the wordpress site migration.
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = REPLACE(option_value, 'oldsite.com', 'newsite.com'); UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = REPLACE(meta_value, 'oldsite.com', 'newsite.com'); UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE(post_content, 'oldsite.com', 'newsite.com'); UPDATE wp_posts SET post_excerpt = REPLACE(post_excerpt, 'oldsite.com', 'newsite.com'); UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = REPLACE(guid, 'oldsite.com', 'newsite.com');
