Transfering a site?

Hi,

I'm not to sure if this is the best section for this question but here it goes. I have a site I own, and someone wants to buy it, how do I go about giving them the site and domain? It's using wordpress if that helps?

 

We will first need to know your host then i can post the right information for you!

 

well some hosts offer to transfer the sites.

if you want to do it you own create a database backup and a backup of the data on the webspace the site is using then send this to the guy who bought your site. then you need to transfer the domain to him to tell you how to do it best way I need to know where you host your domain

 

After received the money.
Backup all your wordpress file.
Sent the file to the buyer.
Push the domain to buyer account.

 

It's on wordpress, I have access to his FTP account, do I have to install wordpress to his server? Or can I drop all contents of the backup onto his server? Will it have all the posts I have made? Cheers

 

Yes, Its better to install it in his/her server to make him/her really happy for ur service. and yes. all the post you have made will post unto his server if u did back up all the files of your wordpress .

Goodluck with ur sales mate.
Keep it comin

 

I have put all files onto his server, but it has a database error? Where do I put my old database on his server?

 

You need to make a backup from your MySQL-Database and after that you have to put it on his MySQL-Database & change the config of the .php files, so that it is correct for his MySQL.
