Weebly name in the URL

I have bought a domain name from Godaddy, then built my website with weebly, then upgraded my weebly website to remove the weebly name from the URL.  I did not realise when upgrading, it automatically registers your domain name, so thought "oh well a waste of money, but ok".  But still ?

Half the question was deleted.

I still have the 'weebly' name in my URL.  Is that becasue I boought the domain name from Godaddy and weebly thinks someone  else has the domain name?

Hello Jax, and welcome!

To change over the domain, you'll want to set the new domain name in the Settings and republish the site. The old .weebly.com subdomain will redirect to your domain after that.

I have tried to transfer the new domain name and it says it's ether "unavailable" or "Your domain name is less the 60 days old.  Wait a bit longer before transfering you name to Weebly".

What domain name are you trying to transfer, @Jax? Per ICANN rules, you won't be able to transfer a domain until 60 days have passed since it was registered.
