 * Hi i am developing a site in a sub domain of my main site and i want to swap 
   them so that the sub domain becomes the main domain and the main domain becomes
   old.maindomain. My main site is currently in the root directory of my host and
   the sub domain is a folder under it, how will i be able to do that?
 * maindomain.com -> old.maindomain.com
 * new.maindomain.com -> maindomain.com
