[support] Switching domains but keeping the rest...

[Jamie Holly]

Set ServerAlias under domain1 in Apache's virtualhost directive to 
domain2.com, restart Apache and done. So long as you haven't had any 
funky contrib modules store stuff as absolute in the database or set 
things like $base_url or $cookie_domain in settings.php, you'll be fine.

If you're on shared hosting, then it's a little more complicated. A lot 
of them now offer to set the directory for hosts, so if you're lucky in 
that sense just set both domains to the same docroot. If not, then 
you'll most likely have to contact them and see if they will do the 
update for you. Some will and some won't.
