ICANN regulations prohibit transferring a domain name that has been registered or previously transferred within the last 60 days. When a .COM, .NET, .ORG, .INFO, .BIZ, .US, .CC, .TV, .NAME, or .WS domain name expires, it enters a 45-day grace period during which it may still be renewed and then transferred to another registrar.
You may not be able to transfer the domain if it is locked with your current registrar, you already registered it with us, the name includes profanity, or it's privately registered. Some registries restrict the use of profanity in the domain name. Check with your current registrar and new registrar to determine the rules for transferring your domain, and remove privacy before initiating a transfer.
