i want to start selling domain names but i dont know how to transfer the ownership.
SO could someone please tell me how to transfer ownership of a domain name from a web.com account to where-ever the buyer is regestered at?

2 ways:

Method #1. The buyer may want to transfer the name to another registrar of their choosing. You need to unlock the domain and supply them with the EPP code (it's a secret random key to prevent domain hijack). Then they will initiate transfer from their registrar. A transfer to another registrar takes at least 5 days.

Method #2. You can ask the buyer to create a free user account at the same registrar then you 'push' the name to them ie. you transfer the domain to their user account at the same registrar so they will immediately gain control of the domain.

I'm not familiar with web.com but do you see options that relate to change of ownership in your control panel ?
