Hi,

I wonder if someone could help in regards to purchasing an established website.

I've noticed a number of people selling on the buying/selling forum and have been interested in a number of blogs for sale.

I'd be grateful if someone could advise me how they go about buying a site.

For example, suppose I have hosting with ABC-Host and my domains regestered at XYZ-domains. On the post, it is generally stated where the site is hosted and where the domain is registered. Is it just a case of the seller providing access to the files and the wordpress database and then me copying and hosting them, transferring the domain over, etc, etc?

With regards to the domain, the seller usually states how long is left before the domian needs renewing - but I have assumed that the domain needs to be transferred to XYZ-domains and therefore would incur the transfer fee which would include a year until expiry anyway?

I am presuming that since the seller states where the site is hosted and how long is left on the domain registration that the above is not always necessary?

Thanks very much for any help.
