Transferring sites with GoDaddy HELP?!

[Lafaso870]

Hi,

I wasn't sure where to post this so sorry if it is in the wrong section. I have just purchased a site in a private transaction with the registrar being GoDaddy. I am new to using goDaddy and came accorss this 60 day lock? I have not made any changes to the domain and site that has just been transferred to me, am I still able to transfer this site to another person or do I have to wait for 60 days? Any help would be very much appreciated and sorry again if this is posted in the wrong section.

Hi,

What sort of domain is it? If it is a global domain such as a com/net/org/biz etc then there is a global rule, out into place by ICANN, which prevents you transferring the domain within the first 60 days of registration of a transfer to another host.

More information can be found on the following page: ICANN | Policy on Transfer of Registrations between Registrars

Sorry, I misread the post at first.

I know that Godaddy place 60 day locks on domains for trivial things such as making changes to the domain admin contact and ownership details. If you updated the domains Whois records at some point this may have put the 60 day lock into place. The best thing to would be to check with Godaddy as to what caused the lock.
