# What is a domain name transfer?

# Domain names transfers 

The policy governing the registration of domain names defined by [ICANN](https://help.ex2.com/en/article/what-is-icann-qqz8xy/?bust=1784826291757) does not allow you to transfer your domain within 60 days of registering a new domain name or transferring from one registrar to another.

If you registered or transferred your domain within the last 60 days, then you will have to wait until the end of this period before proceeding with the transfer.

You can however change the [DNS](https://help.ex2.com/en/article/what-is-the-domain-name-system-or-dns-oen40o/?bust=1784819338957) of your new host while waiting to transfer your domain name later.
