How to change site URL in Sharepoint 2010

We've just migrated from SBS2003 to SBS2011, along with the Sharepoint 3.0 site we had on the SBS2003 box.  This was running as http://companyweb/sites/sharepoint30, not the default http://companyweb.

The site migrated fine, but (with the DNS entry changed) still only runs on http://companyweb/sites/sharepoint30 - we'd like to run it at http://companyweb.

How can we achieve this?  I know it can be done as the default Sharepoint site when SBS2011 is installed is at this URL.

I've read about alternate access mappings, but this is already set to "http://companyweb".

I'd appreciate step-by-step instructions as Sharepoint 2010 is all new to me!  Thanks.

Oops, ignore the last line about the error, it worked fine!
Great!  Please close out the question.
Yep, forgot to mention the db thing (can't restore site to same db).
Expert's answer correct as an overview, but needed to figure out the various sub-steps involved.
