A step-by-step guide to transferring website ownership using AI escrow — domain, hosting, code, and databases.

Transferring website ownership involves multiple steps. Here's how to do it safely with EPICSWP's AI escrow.

Step 1: Prepare the Assets

As a seller, prepare:
  • Domain transfer authorization code
  • Hosting account credentials
  • Full website backup (files + database)
  • SSL certificate information
  • Third-party service accounts (CDN, analytics, etc.)

Step 2: Initiate Escrow

The buyer clicks "Buy with Escrow Protection" on your listing. Their payment is held securely by EPICSWP.

Step 3: Transfer Assets

Share all credentials and files in the deal chat:
  • Domain auth code
  • Hosting login
  • Database dump
  • Source code files
  • Documentation

Step 4: Buyer Verifies

The buyer logs in, tests the site, and verifies everything works. They change passwords to secure access.

Step 5: Confirm and Release

Once the buyer confirms receipt, EPICSWP automatically releases funds to your wallet.

Safety Tips

  • Never share credentials outside the EPICSWP deal chat
  • Use temporary passwords that the buyer changes immediately
  • Document everything in the chat for dispute protection
  • Aegis AI monitors all messages for scam attempts
