You will have to edit your preferences, file paths etc., also config.php. See this article for more info.

That’s not helpful to me. We’re not moving any files, or databases - they are all staying the same. I was thinking more along the lines of in the control panel where I have the site url set to oursite.tempwebpage.com - once the server does it’s thing, EE will be “live” except for the fact that EE things that it’s url is oursite.tempwebpage.com instead of oursite.com.
Once switched, will I even have access to the control panel to change the url?

Yes, obviously you can skip that part. Still, the other steps (6, 8 and 9, above all) remain relevant.
