1. Make sure you have at least 14 days before the domain expires.
2. Remove whois privacy.
3. Unlock domain.
4. Change nameservers to new registrar.
5. Get auth code.
6. Make sure email address on account is correct.
7. Go to new registrar and request transfer.
8. Be sure to accept transfer when you get the email requesting it.

I’m slowly transferring my domains to DreamHost from GoDaddy.

1. Because GoDaddy is kind of gross/shady.
2. Because you get cheap prices up front, but they give it to you with renewal fees. (~$20 for a single domain with private registration)
3. DreamHost domains are always $9.95 a year, including private registration. You might pay more up front, but you’ll save a lot in the long run.

Go ahead and buy one! (so I can get referral rewards!)

This is a copy of an email from Jay of the DreamHost Customer Support Team. I had some trouble the first time I tried to transfer.

1. Contact your current registrar and have the whois privacy removed (if applicable).

2. Change your nameservers to point to Dreamhost nameservers. This process takes 12-48 hours.

   Nameserver 1: ns1.dreamhost.com - 66.33.206.206

   Nameserver 2: ns2.dreamhost.com - 66.201.54.66

   Nameserver 3: ns3.dreamhost.com - 66.33.216.216

3. Make sure the contact email address is updated and the domain is not locked. Also get the auth code if applicable.
4. Make sure the domain does not expire within 14 days of requesting the domain transfer. If the domain is going to expire within 14 days of the transfer request, you will have to renew the domain with your current registrar. Then wait 60 days to requesdt for the transfer.
5. Login to your Webpanel, then go to Domains > Reg. Transfer. This is where you can request for the transfer. Or you can request for the domain transfer when you first sign up.
6. You will receive a confirmation email. Follow the instructions within the email.

Add a new element entry like so, using the scope selector markup.heading (this doesn’t seem to effect H tags in HTML):

Use whatever foreground and background colors you want.

If you want to switch to using self-closing tags like <img /> and <br /> in certain projects, change the shell variable TM_XHTML for that project to ” /“.

Enter this:

The default behavior for TextMate is to use HTML 4, so you don’t have to do anything extra for those projects.

This worked for me:

• Rename the file ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain (to keep it safe just in case)
• Drag your backup copy of login.keychain to the same location
• Make sure your admin account on your new system (or install of OS X) has the same password as the old one, or (according to JTJ) it won’t automatically open it when you log in.

Drag everything from /usr/local/mysql/data into the same location on the new installation, overwriting whatever is there. You may have to chown the folder from mysql to your user name, just don’t forget to chown it back or it won’t start up again.

No dumps needed.

I hope this will show up in a Google search for “restore mysql databases "without dump"“
