I try to search as I know I see some posts about parts of what I want to do but not find so ask for help here-

I want to copy /clone a whole site I have and then add a new domain to it.

So step 1. I set the new domain in my server so its ready
Step2. Then do I zip the whole site?
step3. Then upload it on server on the new domain?
step4. Then change name in script I guess but were is this?
Any know issues that will or could happend that I should be careful with?
