So I SNAPPED UP this domain back in September, $12/YR ARE YOU KIDDING, moved it from RackNerd to GreenCloudVPS. Normal 60-day lock, right? I waited. Tried to transfer out December 1st. DENIED. "Registry lock until Feb 2026." WHAT. That's 90+ days. I opened tickets with BOTH registrars, getting ping-ponged. GreenCloudVPS says "registry lock." RackNerd says "not our problem anymore." My domain is in LIMBO and I have a buyer waiting. Anyone seen this nightmare before?

Hello, I think you have two different lock. Registrar lock is 60 day, yes. But registry lock is separate thing, some TLD do this after change of registrar. Make a server up with new hosting is easy, but domain lock is different. You can check in WHOIS if you see "serverTransferProhibited" — this is registry, not registrar. Regards
