  I purchased my domain name from GoDaddy about 3 weeks ago and it looks like I have to wait 60 days to transfer it to WordPress. Can I transfer it after this period and will the remaining $13 annual fee paid to WP be refunded once transfer is complete?

  Howdy –

  Yes, you do need to wait 60 days for a domain transfer. That’s actually an ICANN regulation.

  What I’d suggest is mapping the domain to us for now. There’s not a waiting period on that.

  Here are the instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  It will allow you to get started and use your domain now.
