    Was trying to transfer my blog domain to Go Daddy from Wordpress but because I just purchased it as of 1/26, it’s too new to transfer.  Go Daddy says I have to wait 60 days to transfer it according to federal regulations.  (Boy they are in everything, aren’t they?)  Anybody run up against this problem?  I’ll just have to wait it out on Wordpress because I don’t want to lose my URL and I need to keep blogging for my business. Thanks for any responses you can provide.

    @encoreperceptions I ran into that once.  I bought a domain that was on the most irritating domain registrar that I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with.  Couldn’t get it to work with my hosting and I couldn’t move it out because of the transfer rule.  After 60 days, I totally forgot why I bought the domain in the first place.  :(

    It’s just so annoying to have to wait this long. I am on Wordpress.com and even upgraded and am not happy with the functionality.  My plan is to move my URL to Go Daddy since I already have my website with them and then download Wordpress.org where I’ll have more themes and plug-in capability for my blog.

    @encoreperceptions There can be  a difference between where the domain is registered and where it is pointing to. Can you leave the domain where it is registerd right now, but access its control panel  and repoint it to GoDaddy? This is a real question, not a rhetorical one… Find out if you can get access to what they call the DNS records. If you can, then you can set the hosting up at GoDaddy already without waiting for the domain to move. You could repoint the DNS records for now and move the domain  later
