    Hi!

    I would like to know after you sell a site, how do you transfered to the new owner? I have a site hosted on bluehost, is a add-on. I personally don't have a clue how to do it.

    I dont kno0w what control panel you have. This could help us answer your questions.

    If you are under cpanel, the proceedure is to push the domain to the registrar of the new owner. You then generate a full backup, transfer the backup file to the purchaser, and he will restore it. He will point the dns of the url to his server and voila.

    However, you mentionned that it was an addon. Is it addon domain ? If so, you wont be able to generate a full backup of only this domain and you dont want to transfer all the other domain files to the purchaser.

    So you have to download an entire copy of the set of files, download any database associated with this site, give them to the purchaser, so he can restore it in his account

    Hope this help
