Under U.S. federal tax rules this arrangement would likely be treated as an installment sale. If you sell the website and are eligible for long term capital gain treatment, the long term capital gain treatment would apply to the initial cash payment, as well as subsequent payments made under the installment agreement.
You would compute your gross profit percentage on the sale of the asset, and apply that profit percentage to all future payments to determine how much of each payment is installment sale income.
