In case you have database access, and I sure hope so, you might want to use this query to update your Unsecure and Secure URL's:

UPDATE core_config_data
SET value = 'http://yournewdomain.com/'
WHERE path LIKE 'web/unsecure/base_url'
LIMIT 1 ;
UPDATE core_config_data
SET value = 'https://yournewdomain.com/'
WHERE path LIKE 'web/secure/base_url'
LIMIT 1 ;
