Located in the URL of the application database settings. Fortunately, the use by the WordPress developers called "update_option" provide a good function to avoid modifying the database directly.
Just add these lines to your theme functions.php file:
update_option('siteurl','http://www.new-site-address.com');update_option('home','http://www.new-site-address.com');
Then just load your site a new location - it should work just fine.
Please note that when you run your site once, and you want to make sure it works, you should start your functions.php file, delete the rows. Settings are already stored in the database and should not be modified each time you load your site.
