Google Webmaster tool for Moving Domains
Google recently introduced a new option in Google webmaster central that allows webmasters to change domain address without hassle.
A group of webmaters were asking for this option way back in 2006, so at least there is something for them to rejoice.
It is not possible at this moment to know whether this option would ensure that there is no potential ranking drops after a domain change – Google is not giving any clear answer to that. You still have to set up the 301 redirections from old to new urls.
