Moving site from sub domain

Before implementing CMSmadesimple on to my actual site, I'd like to run a test on a sub domain.
Once I'm ready to put the site live, can I simply copy the files across to the main domain?
Just trying to leave as little down time as possible and make sure there are no bugs to iron out. It'll also provide me with a testing environment

Yes, but before:
- backup db
- check permission folder updates and tmp
- new value for path and url path in config.php

If you don't have to move, but just can rename the folder, f.e. "test.domain.com" to "
www.domain.com", you only have to change the config.php after the renaming.
Off course "Backing up" is a wise thing to do......

Clearing the cache may help too.

this will all work, assuming you haven't put any 'absolute' links into your pages. If you have, well.... you'll have to fix them too.
