Okay here is my problem:
I am wanting to build out my domains into sites, generate revenue, and then sell at a better price.
Therefore, I need to find a good hosting service first, and foremost..The one I have now is great on support, and I have been with them for years, but I am going to change as they are outdated, and are extremely costly, and they keep upping the prices on me every year.
Anyhow, I had called one Hosting site, and asked them, if I could keep my domains on Godaddy, and still Host with them, they said yes..Al I would need to do is change Nameservers...Great!
Then I asked them, "If I want to sell my site, how would that work?" They told me that I would just change the name server and they would do the transfer. (Perhaps they or I misunderstood somehow?)
Then I saw a thread in which stated that one would have to save files into a zip format, etc.. etc.. etc..
So now I am confused...
I feel like I missed something here... Can a hosting site transfer your entire site to someone else, by simply having me change the nameservers in my Godaddy account, or would I have to go through all kinds of crazy backups, and download all kinds of zip files, etc.. etc.???
I would like to be able to just focus on first figuring out which hosting company I'm going to go with, then learning how to go from learning HTML to WP, (with the tutorials I have found) figure out what plug-ins go, and don't go with one another, writing quality content, promoting all my sites, selling them, and investing more, building out more, and selling...Rinse, repeat, basically without having to do all this other techie stuff when a site sells...
I really do want to have all of this figured out before I go with any hosting company, and start building out my sites....Please help! Thanks in advance to all who contribute!
