I cant figure out what Im doing, Ive loaded all the files using unlimited FTP, but now I cant even login into the site anymore.  If there is anyone out there that can help me out and fix this for me, I would compensate them for their services, just shoot me an email at justinweinger@aol.com

2.  I recommend BackUpBuddy.  Install the plugin, make a backup, copy the backup to your site, and run a script.  Poof, you've got the entire site, files, themes, posts, and all.

3.  All electronic.

4.  If it's not someone you know and trust.  Go escrow.  It's worth it.

As far as everything else we have also done the transfer but found just getting all their passwords to be the easiest way to do it.

Might be something to consider if you're working with a stranger.  If it's someone you've interacted with or otherwise feel comfortable with, you could consider bypassing this to save the associated fees.

As far as the technical stuff, you'll need transfer of the whois record as well as all of the blog passwords and such assuming all the content is coming over.

1.) How do we transfer the domain name to me?

2.) How do I transfer to my host?

3.) What paperwork needs to be filled out? Can it all be done electronically?

4.) Anything else to consider?

 

Thank you so much!
