5. How to transfer ownership of a domain ?

If buyer and seller have accounts on the same domain registrar, the seller retrieve's the buyer's account ID and requests a "domain push" within their control panel.
If buyer and seller have accounts on different domain registrars, the buyer should contact their domain registrar, who will then reach out to the seller's registrar.

Detail

Transferring domains between owners is a simple process involving the domain registrars of both the buyer and the seller.

A domain registrar is a company like GoDaddy, Name.com, etc. which holds all the information pertaining to the domain's ownership.

If buyer and seller have accounts on the same domain registrar, the process is straightforward. The seller simply retrieve's the buyer's account ID and requests a "domain push" within their control panel.

If buyer and seller have accounts on different domain registrars:
The buyer may initiate the transfer by contacting their domain registrar, who will then reach out to the administrative contact of the site's old registrar.

The seller may facilitate a smooth transfer by unlocking the domain and providing an authorization code or an EPP code.
Please note that to complete the transfer the buyer and new owner of the domain may need to accept the domain into their account.

Each domain registrar may have different processes. For more detailed information, you may contact your domain registrar for the exact process for transferring/ receiving domain ownership.

Please note that Actinium is providing these guidelines as only limited advice and not absolute direction. The parties should verify and get their own legal and professional advice in relation to the transfer process. The exact process and nature of transfer is the responsibility of buyer and seller and should be discussed and agreed upon by both parties.

The first step is to transfer the domain, please see this guide: How to transfer ownership of a domain

Buyer to sign up for a hosting account/ seller to provide access to their hosting account.
After the domain has been transferred, the buyer will need to find a suitable hosting provider for the website.

As a seller, transferring a website is the most straightforward. Simply provide the new owner with access to your hosting account. Make sure that any confidential information is removed before doing so - or obtain the buyer's details and change the account’s contact information to match the new owner.

Seller to provide access to all connected third-party services and accounts.
A website often has additional third-party services such as Google Analytics that will also need to be transferred to the new owner. With respect to Google Analytics, since it is linked to your Google account and therefore other services that you will want to continue to use, it would be better for the buyer to setup a Google Analytics account and the website transferred to that.

Seller to send to the buyer any files related to the website.
The last thing that should be considered are any files that are associated with the website. This can include logos, icons and other images or media.

The above should cover almost everything involved in transferring a website to a new owner.
