    Hi there!

    Please note that a newly registered domain can’t be transferred for 60 days. It’s a regulatory requirement that can’t be bypassed. However, you can point the domain to an external host during these 60 days.

    To point the domain to an external host, please ask your host for their nameservers and add them to your domain on WordPress.com by following these steps:

    Nameservers determine where your domain’s DNS is hosted and managed. This guide will show you how to change your domain’s name servers to point to WordPress.com or any other host. Important Considerations when Changing DNS Changing your domain name’s servers means changing where your domain’s DNS records are managed. DNS records control many things, including: the website available at

    Nameservers and DNS changes can take up to 72 hours to take effect. Within 72 hours of adding nameservers from your host, the domain will start loading your desired website.

    Feel free to let us know if you have more questions.
