The process is FAIRLY simple but you must take precautions to avoid any potential data loss.

First you will need to add a new portal alias for your site to remove the /site.  (This can be done when logged in as host under "Admin" -> "Site Settings")

Then you will need to copy all the files in your /site folder and paste them to the root of your website.

Depending on the configuration of your server, you might need to change the virtual directory setups to have the root be the virtual directory (This is hard to say...)

That should do it.  You might need to fix any links that were hard eet using the previous address.

NOTE: before doing this be sure to take full backups!!!
