    Hi. Apparently I have to communicate with automatic Inc. to get an approval to get my domain name moved to Bluehost.
    What should I do? I can’t wait 7 days.

    Hi there,

    What domain are you speaking of? The account you’re using to post here doesn’t own any domains.

    You can find the process for transferring a domain to another provider here:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/transfer-domain-registration/

    If your domain is currently subject to a 60-day transfer lock, you will have to wait until that lock is lifted before you’ll be able to transfer the domain. Per ICANN regulations, domain providers are obligated to lock any new domain, recently transferred domain, or domain that has had a change in contact information, for 60 days. There is no way to remove this lock before 60 days are up.

    This is a rule that applies to all domains, at all domain providers.
