  Hi there!

  It seems that the ownership of the domain has been recently updated and, unless you specifically disable that option, this will trigger the 60-day lock for transferring it. That lock is an ICANN requirement and, unfortunately, we can’t do anything about it.
  That means you’ll need to wait until September 24th to be able to transfer the domain away. In the meantime, you can map it to any other site by changing the nameservers or adding a custom A record:

  Let me know if you have any more questions regarding that.
