Moving a site to another account

SmashinYoungMan · October 4th, 2006, 6:13 PM

Hiyas.

I was wondering if it was possible to move a site from one account to another's account. I'm handing over one of my sites to someone else. He already signed up at surpassdomains, so transferring the domain won't be an issue. It would be nice, however, if I could also push the hosting for this site to his account, so the files and database won't have to be transferred.

I have multiple sites hosted by surpass, but I want only this one to transferred. So...is it possible? I guess all that would need to be changed is who account this site belongs to, and the billing information.

Thankee.

File a ticket with support, let them know the logins for both the accounts, tell them which one everything is going to. They'll do a simple copy of files over to the new account it will be under.

Thanks for the reply, DwKnight.

One additional question: As of now, the person I'm giving the site over to doesn't have any surpass hosting account. I see no way of registering without first purchasing a hosting package. Would he have to do this, or can he register without purchasing anything first, then have my hosting account for this site transferred over to him?

Would probably be best to ask that one to sales or support.
