Sold my first site on flippa earlier, thing is im quite new when it comes to transferring domains.

The main thing I've done so far is backup, and change the name servers on the domain registrar.

What else needs to be done? And is there a guide anyone could point me to?

Thanks

    Your going to need to push the domain name from your registrar account to theirs.

    You should be able to get your host or their host to help transfer the site - this will be the easiest option.

    I sold a few sites and this is what I did...

    Unlock the domain from your registrar...

    Zip up the site...

    Export the SQL (if a wordpress blog) into a zip...

    Push the domain to the new user...

    Send them the zip files...

    Your done
