Hi everyone,

I'm looking to sell a site of mine, and was wondering if anyone knew of a good tutorial video or website showing step by step how to transfer a site from my host to someone elses.

Thanks!

    Is it wordpress? If so it is fairly simple....

    1.) get a backup of the database and then FTP your website files to your desktop.
    2.) create a DB and user on the new host, and sync the new user with the new DB
    3.) upload the DB backup into the new DB via PHPadmin and "import" option
    4.) transfer files via FTP to new hosts public_html directory.
    5.) Point the domain to the new hosts name servers
    6.) wait for propagatopm to complete and enjoy!

      Yup, also just as a tip you can offer a site install as a small upsell after the sale to net some extra money
