I can't tell you the process to move your wordpress site but the first thing to do is make a backup copy to your computer. This will give you an off-line copy in case anything goes wrong.

Otherwise it is basically two simple steps:

1. Go into config and change the site address and wordpress address to the NEW address you want to use (it's located under settings -> general

2. Move all files to the root folder.

It is a good practice to take backups (both file and database) before doing any major changes, such as moving address.

Optionally you'll want to set a 301 permanently moved redirect from the old domain to the new domain so your users find its new home.
