Anyone have any experience using MediaTemple (gs) server and moving a site from subdomain to primary domain?

    We have a MediaTemple (gs) server that is hosting multiple sites using various domains and subdomains. I’m currently redesigning one of the sites (example.com) and will be using EE to build it. All the sites are in a “domains” folder on the server. If I want a new site or subdomain I can simply add a new folder called (blah.example.com), and put all site files in a “html” folder within. This should sound familiar to users of MediaTemple (gs) servers.

    I want to build the new site at a subdomain(dev.example.com) and when it is finished, move it over to (example.com). Since it is the same server, I don’t think I’ll have to modify the path to the database in any config file, it should be the same I think…If I use a plugin like Deeploy Helper, would moving the site be as simple as changing the url from (dev.example.com) to (example.com) everywhere(with the help of Deeploy Helper) and then copying and pasting the site files from the dev.example.com flder to the example.com folder?

    Any help would be awesome, thanks!
