  Hi there, If you just recently purchased this domain from WordPressdotcom, there is a 60-day waiting period imposed by ICANN before you can transfer the domain to a different domain registrar. More about that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/transfer-domain-registration/

  But you can still use your domain purchased here with a site hosted elsewhere on the web. Here’s how you can do that https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-name-servers/

  Let us know if you have any questions about that.

  Hi @kristimclaughlin66gmailcom, Jen is right; this domain is too new to transfer, and cancelling it won’t release it right away.

  Also, I thought I’d point out this domain is owned through another account. But if you will log in as that user, you can point the domain to Wix’s nameservers using these steps:

  That way it will start working there within a few hours. Then you can transfer it there later.
