Q: Why can't I transfer a domain name I just registered to another registrar?
A: There are a few reasons why you may not be able to transfer a recently registered domain name to another registrar.
Firstly, most registrars impose a 60-day transfer lock for new domain registrations, which prevents immediate transfers. Additionally, if you have made changes to the registrant  information within the last 60 days, such as the name, organization, or email address, a transfer may be denied. Some registrars offer an opt-out option for this lock, but it's not guaranteed. To avoid complications, consider completing the transfer before modifying your contact information
