  How long is typical to transfer a domain out of wordpress.com to another registrar? Usually these things are pretty quick – but it’s been five days now. (I know – ICANN says up to.. )

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  1. What is the domain URL?
  2. What is the underlying .wordpress.com URL?
  3. Exactly which username account registered the underlying .wordpress.com blog and purchased the upgrade for it?
  4. Which registrar are you transferring to?

  Note: It is only possible to transfer a domain 60 days after the registration date. This 60 day lock is required by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and cannot be waived. More info here. https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/text-2012-02-25-en

  Thanks @timetheif ssfcalliancecouncil.com is the domain – it’s showing as transferring on both ends – but it’s taking a while.

  oh – and that’s coming from ssfcalliancecouncil.wordpress.com – moving from wp.com to self-host wp.org.

  Hello,

  ssfcalliancecouncil.com is the domain – it’s showing as transferring on both ends – but it’s taking a while

  Once you initiate the transfer, there is a waiting period of five days. During this period, you will receive an email to confirm or cancel the transfer. After confirmation, the domain will be transferred within 5-7 days. However, I made some changes to the transfer on your system and your domain is now showing as transferred. This should help speed things up a little :)

  Come back to me if you have any problems!
