Can someone point me to a walkthrough or something similar for transferring a website to a new owner.

I'm going to be selling my directory soon and i've got a rough idea where to start, just need to get some good advice.

Cheers!

Are you transferring the domain and website? or just the domain?

Well, either way, this should cover you:

1. Download all the files you are transferring and zip them up
2. Send that file to the new owner
3. Go to your domain registrar and initiate an ownership change. With GoDaddy, just go to all of your domains, check mark the one you want to push, and click on the "Account Change" icon at the top. Fill in the info and push it.
4. Done.

Not yet, you have to use phpmyadmin or something similar. Export database as SQL file and send them to new owner too.

New owner have to do 2 things

- Import SQL database first.
- Edit config file in your site and make site to connect with his current sql database.

Just take a complete backup & restore the same on the new host. Then transfer the domain & you are done.

you can do this only if both the hosts use cpanel, otherwise you have to go the way Mike said

Ok, i'm tranfering hosting proveiders, but i need to take all of my etc sites with me (i'm on and going to a reseller account) How should i do it?

If they both use Cpanel, and you have WHM then just use the account move function to move everything over. It will transfer the accounts, files and databases quick and easy.
