    Hi there!

    I am planning to sell a website, but don't know how to transfer domains and database.

    For example, if i want to sell www.watchmusicvids.net, which is built on php script... What should i do to export the database and transer it to the new owner? And how to push the domain if it is in godaddy?

    Your suggestions and advice will be highly appreciated...

    Cheers!

    Pushing a domain name is very easy if your buyer wants to keep it with godaddy, all you have to do is follow the instructions godaddy gives you, the buyer gets and email and tell him to create and account, if you have a control panel for the site you can simply backup the site and restore it on the buyer's new server, otherwise it would require backing up the database and installing it manually via phpmyadmin.
    btw, nice site :)

    Thanks a lot man...

    In PHP Myadmin, i gotta export it, and send to the new owner, right?

    and for domain, i need to unlock it and tell the new owner to add it, is it?

    Just email the buyer the exported files so he can import it, you don't need to unlock it if you plan on pushing it, otherwise yes.
