  Hi there,

  Your domain got parked when you canceled it, but I was able to restore it. For the time being, you cannot transfer your domain elsewhere as there’s a 60-day transfer lock for newly registered domains. That lock is required by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and cannot be waived.

  You can however keep your domain with us and point to a site hosted elsewhere by changing its name servers. Here’s how to configure that:
