    Hi,
    I want to transfer my domain to word press so i can host and publish my website here. However, i just bought on 19 Jan 2024. It says that i need to wait for 60 days before i can transfer.

    Is there anyway to solve this problem? I checked at namecheap.com, that since my domain name is .LTD, i could just wait for 5 days. They said that i can register there on 24 Jan 2024. Can you please help me to solve this problem

    My domain name is : recenergy.ltd.

    I saw that there is an option to ‘connect’, but, its too expensive.

    Thanks,

    Dave

    According to ICANN-regulation a newly created domain can’t be transferred for 60 days … Dura Lex Sed Lex – “In accordance with the regulations established by ICANN (the domain regulatory body), it is not possible to transfer a domain within 60 days of: Registering the domain. Changing the registrant contact information. Transferring your domain between different domain providers.” – https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/text-2012-02-25-en

    Hi Dave,

    As <term-user value=”@staartmees” class=”spf-tag”>@staartmees</term-user> said regarding the domain transfer, there’s an important rule set by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which all domain registrars must follow. This rule mandates a 60-day transfer lock for newly registered domains.

    Regarding Namecheap’s 5-day waiting period, this applies if you cancel your domain. It’s important to know that after cancellation, there is a risk, albeit rare, that your domain might be registered by someone else before you can re-register it. I feel it’s important to make you aware of this possibility.

    Now, about connecting your domain to WordPress.com: This option means you keep your domain with your current registrar (Namecheap) and simply point it to your WordPress.com site. After the 60-day lock period, you’ll have the option to transfer your domain to WordPress.com if you still wish to do so. Here’s how to set this up: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

    Regarding your concerns about the cost of connecting your domain. This appears higher because domain connection is a feature included in our paid hosting plans. These plans not only allow you to connect your domain but also provide a host of additional features. These include removing ads, increasing storage space, and many other functionalities not available on the free plan. Even if your primary interest is in transferring or registering a domain, opting for a paid plan is necessary to use your domain as the primary address for your site and to access these additional features.

    I hope this clarifies your queries. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. We’re here to help.
