Okay, so I have the SQL file.

Since he doesn’t have the URL tied to his hosting yet, how do I get verified that everything is up and running on his end before I transfer the URL?

I went ahead and downloaded it…it’s called:

cfoudiyc_wrd1.sql

Where do I go from there?

Okay, so in my wp-config.php I see the following:

/** MySQL database username */

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘cfoudiyc_wrd1’);

In PHPMyAdmin, I see that database.

Do I just click on that database, and do a quick export in SQL?

Also, I’m in PHPMyAdmin. I have the wp-config.php file open.

Can you please help me identify where to go from here?

Thanks,

Dan

So at what point should I transfer the URL to him? I haven’t done that yet.

wp_bh_fan, the gentleman who will own the site also has an account with bluehost.

I don’t know if that changes anything or not.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Thanks so much BostonWordpress.

The site URL is https://www.c4diy.com.

I have downloaded what I THINK is “all the files”, but I don’t know about the MySQL database.

Thanks BostonWordpress.

I tried to “Move All Files”, but the new site didn’t work. I’m guessing it has to do with your point #3. How do I change the “DNS Pointing to the new server”?

Also, how do I know if I am on shared hosting? Both myself and the new owner have BlueHost.

Thanks!

So, I’ve done a little further research and it seems moving it to a different URL creates a whole lot of extra work. So, it seems like it would be best to transfer the URL to him, and then transfer the files?

I’m still trying to figure out how to do this without the site actually going down.
