Question Process Of selling/transferring a domain?


What is the process of selling and transferring a domain to a buyer? How do I do sell my domain to someone successfully?

I haven't really known how to do this for some time, and would like to know how to do this when I do sell a domain.

My domain(s) are registered at namecheap.com.

Thanks.

The specifics vary from registrar but there is normally a way to "Push" a domain from one account at a registrar to another account at the same registrar. This happens very quickly and is usually free. So you could "Push" a domain from your namecheap account to mine as soon as you received payment from me.

Domains can also be transferred to a different registrar but there is a charge and the process is more involved.

Alright, thanks.

Also, if that domain is being used. As in, has a running website on it, would I need to do anything extra to this "pushing"?

You would need to get all the files to the buyer and let them have some time to set up their own hosting and install the files. During the push the name server information doesn't normally change so the pushed site would continue to run on your server. Sometimes people provide cpanel or FTP access to their account so the buyer can get in to move it themselves.

It is very easy to transfer a domain. Once you receive the payment from the buyer you change the information of the domain to his.
