  On the page asking about domain transfer. It says that my transfer wouldn’t be available until July 20th, does this mean that I can’t launch my website until July 20th. Please respond urgently. My website is a graduation site for school and needs to be launch no later than June 1st.

  Hello @risacohen7 –

  Thanks for posting your question!

  Hi there,

  If you only recently bought the domain you won’t be able to transfer it anywhere until you’ve owned it for at least 60 days. This is a rule that applies to domains at all domain providers, as per ICANN regulations.

  But you can still point the domain to us by changing the name servers, and connect it to your site using the domain mapping option included in all our paid plans:
