 * 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?

 * 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,

 * 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 [http://www.c4diy.com](http://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.
