Whether you're retiring, selling your business, or just moving on — shutting down your website isn’t as simple as hitting “delete.” In this episode, Charly walks you through the smart, secure, and professional way to close a website without burning digital bridges or losing vital data.

📌 You’ll learn:

✅ Why your domain name and email might still stay active

✅ How to make a full website and database backup — and where to store it

✅ What services (like Mailchimp) you must shut down separately

✅ How to leave a respectful goodbye page for visitors

✅ The legal and privacy reasons to delete data properly

🔗 Peacefully ending a website is like locking up shop — do it with care and clarity.
