Changing the domain name
Upon installing joomla I happened to fictitious domain name. Now I want to change it to a registered domain name which I'm trying to develop. How do I do it? Shall I reinstall joomla!?

You should not have to change anything but the configuration.php file. Make sure that the paths specified in this file have the server path you are using for the live site. Also, you may want to assign $livesite="" to your domain name.
Some third-party extensions hardcode the domain name, so if you are using extensions in addition to the core Joomla, you may need to search the files. If you use Dreamweaver, Eclipse, EditPlus, etc., you should be able to do a fast search of all your website's files on your local PC for the fictitious domain name and change it to the live domain name.
