How do we transfer a domain name after we sell it?

    Can anyone give me a brief explanation on how one can transfer domain names after we sell it to someone else. I am sure we just don't give the username and Password to the buyer. Then how does the process go? I would appreciate if there is a video on Youtube. Thanks.

    1. Log in to your GoDaddy Domain control center.
    2. Check the box next to the domain(s) you want to move to another account. Or, click the checkmark icon and Select All.
    3. From the menu above your domain list, select Ownership, then Move to other GoDaddy Account.
    4. Enter the new account owner's email address.
    5. Confirm the new account owner's email address.
    6. Enter the new account owner's shopper ID.
      Note: If you enter a shopper ID, the email address you entered must match the email address on the account you're moving the domain to.
    7. Choose Yes or No under Do you want to copy the current domain contact information to the new account?
    8. Click Transfer Domain.
    You'll receive a confirmation notice stating Your transfer is in progress.

    You'll first need to unlock the domain name and then you can push it to the buyer's account.

    Thank you guys but in my case I am using Namecheap and would consider the buyer to be using a different registrar. If you know the steps please...

    I think this procedure varies for other domain providers. So best thing is to checkout FAQ's of that particular domain provider.

    Ok I have already learned how. I transferred from Hostgator to Namecheap with some fee (paid to Namecheap). But to transfer from Namecheap to Namecheap, it's free.

    To transfer a domain name after selling it, the seller needs to unlock the domain name, disable privacy protection, and obtain the authorization code from their domain registrar. The seller should then provide the authorization code to the buyer, who will use it to initiate the transfer process with their registrar. The domain transfer process typically takes 5 to 7 days to complete, and the domain will be transferred to the buyer's account once the transfer is successful.
