How to Transfer Domain Name Ownership to Another Person

First you need to carefully sit your margarita down. Be careful not to slosh it onto your laptop or get any sand down in the keyboard. This will only take a few minutes and you can go back to living large. The next thing you need to is log into your godaddy.com account in order to manage your domain names.
After you are logged in, hover your mouse over the 'domains' part of the menu. Then select 'My Domains' from the drop down menu. This will take you to the domain manager where you can view all of the domains that you have registered. Chances are if you have made a fortune on the internet you will see several domains listed that are generating you some nice passive income. Carefully select the domain name that you need to transfer by clicking on the box to the left of the domain name.
Now that a domain name is selected the control menu will become available. Choose 'Account Change' from the menu. A new menu will appear where you must enter the new registrant's customer number or login. You must also enter the new registrant's email address. Once complete click the next button to continue.
The next menu will ask you to confirm details about the organization you are transferring your domain to. You will need to fill in details on the organization's name, first and last name of your contact, the new company's address and their phone number.
After this information is entered you will be shown a list of the godaddy.com services that will be canceled when the domain is transferred. Please review that list carefully because it cannot be reversed once the transaction is completed.
Next you will see the 'Domain Name Change Registrant Agreement'. Read through this document and confirm that you have read and agree to the details listed. Then confirm that you do want to transfer the domain and click 'Finish'.
Godaddy will then send a transaction ID and a security code to the new registrant of your old domain name. They will have about 10 days to act on the transfer before the ID and security code expires.

How to Legally Shut Down a Website (8 Steps)

Cancel your account with your Web hosting service. Once canceled, the company will delete your web pages from its server and your web pages will no longer be served to visitors.
Relinquish your domain name. Contact the company that registered your domain, such as Go Daddy, Cheap Domain or Yahoo, and ask that your domain name be canceled. Your domain name will be returned to the public pool and another user may purchase it.
Wait 48 hours and then navigate to your old website URL using your Web browser. Verify that the site no longer works. Depending on the domain service provider, an error page or an advertisement may be displayed.

How to Link a Domain Name to a Web Hosting Page

Obtain the DNS nameservers used by the company hosting your actual website. These are unique addresses that look something like web addresses (e.g., 'ns1.yourwebhost.com', 'ns2.yourwebhost.com'). There are usually at least two nameservers like these; often, your hosting company provides these to you at signup. If not, contact the hosting company for this information.
Change the DNS nameservers where your domain name is registered to the nameservers provided by your hosting company. Each registrar handles this step differently, but in most cases, you can access your domain name's nameservers online by logging into your account at the registrar's website. If you cannot easily find where to make these changes, contact the company where your domain is registered and ask how to do this. It usually takes between 24 and 48 hours for the changes to take effect once you change the nameservers.
Login to your web hosting account and associate your domain name with your website. Again, this process is different for each provider. Sometimes, you will already have a website created with a temporary web address; other times, you will access your online file manager and create a new folder for the domain name. Consult your hosting company's help documentation, or call the support line if you need assistance with this step. Your domain name will point to whatever webpage you have created as soon as the DNS nameserver changes take effect.
