I have been struggling with GWT for the past few weeks. I used to have an old personal website whose main address was example.com. I developed a new one at a different host, using example.cc. I want .cc to be my new main domain from now on, so I forwarded example.com and example2.com (another domain which used to point to example.com) to example.cc.

Following the instructions from GWT, I added 6 properties:


example.cc example.cc example.com example.com example2.com example2.com

The verification was correct and the forwarding seemed to work perfectly. However, I cannot set the preferred domain option in example.cc anymore. I have been waiting for a few weeks, but still the option seems disabled. All the transfers of address (www.example.com, example.com, example2.com, example2.com) have been submitted and successful according to GWT:


Your request for a site move has succeeded.
If you believe this is an error, you can withdraw the request.


Any thoughts on what can I be doing wrong? I have been checking posts with similar questions, but to the best of my knowledge the configuration was different.
