Well,  first, you need to wait for your new domain to resolve to your host.   Have you informed the host that you change your domain name?  Have you changed the dns settings in the hosting control panel?

Then you need to change all of your settings in smf to use the new domain...   the forum needs to be updated...  it can not automatically determine that you have changed domains
