what should i do? transfer it now -
Hi there,
What is the domain you bought? $129 is very expensive for a domain. Or did you perhaps buy it as part of a hosting plan?
You won’t be able to transfer the domain at the moment, because any new domain can only be transferred if you’ve owned it for at least 60 days. This is an ICANN regulation and applies to any domain bought at any domain provider.
If you want to use that domain with your WordPress.com site at https://cooperativecommunication.wordpress.com/, first you’ll need to upgrade to one of our paid plans at My Site ->Plans.
Once you’ve done that you can connect the domain here via our domain mapping process:

Once you’ve owned the domain for 60 days, you can then transfer the registration to us, but only if the domain has an extension we support (you can’t transfer a .uk, .ca, or .fr domain to us, for example), and it’s also not possible to transfer premium domains to us. You can see these two links for more information on that process:
