Export database using phpmyadmin from hello-hello.com
Edit wp-config file copied from hello-hello.com for new database, user and password
Make sure wp table prefix on hellohello.com is same as hello-hello.com
Go into phpmyadmin for hellohello.com and import the database you exported earlier.

Straight forward perhaps,
but again I'm a bit thick with the technical side of things.. I was looking for the easiest way possible to get this done.. and a way that wouldn't effect the existing SEO too harshly.
A 301 redirect sounds ideal for my needs.. now I just need to figure if I should only re-direct to the base page of the new site or try to match up all the individual sub pages to have better redirect relevance for surfers clicking his old "well indexed" links in google.
The name server method mentioned above sounds the easiest for my retarded ass.. but I've never heard of that working in my life.. admittedly, I've never heard about a lot of things though.
But thank you for your help.. if I wasn't technically challenged I might give it a go.
Thanks to everyone else for their helpful incites as well.. it is greatly appreciated, running into shit you don't know is extremely frustrating.. next time I will be a bit more hesitant to help.
I don't mind building someone a nice wordpress site as that is within my skillset.. but site transfers and having to consider the seo and backlinks of the old site is just a pain in the ass I don't need.
