Change the name servers of the domain with hosting name servers.

It is very easy. Sometime it take 2 to 4 hours for action.

In settings just change the Board URL and Cookie Domain under Site Details. That should be it. Unless you hard coded something like plugins or the themes logo or image path.

He is only changing domain name, not the webhosting server.

What do you mean exactly?

You can point any domain/subdomain you own to your forum...
