Transfer domain name

  • Unknown's avatar

    At first, I created my blog here. I choose personal plan and register the domain name fucklacultureduviol.ca … But I find another plan on another host. I want to have the same domain name but I cancelled my subscription here before I transfer it on my website blue host.

    The domaine name was free with personnal plan, but I think I must pay to get it on blue host ?

    Thank you for answering me!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hi there,

    Cancelled domains are not released immediately, and it can take anything from a few days to over a year before a cancelled domain becomes available again, if at all. You should never cancel a domain that you still want to use, as when you cancel a domain, you give up ownership of it, and there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to use it again somewhere else in future.

    In this case I am still able to restore the domain to your account, and have done that now. Your domain wasn’t refunded when you cancelled it, so no further payment is necessary.

    New domains cannot be transferred to another provider for 60 days after purchase, but for now you can point your domain to the host you want to use by changing the name servers:

    Then you’ll be able to transfer it away from us completely once you’ve owned it for at least 60 days, so around 16 November.

    I did what you say. Just have to wait :

    The changes can take up to 72 hours to become active, but typically take only a few hours.

    It is closer than few hour or 72 hours ? I will set me a reminder for the 16 november! Thank you!
