Locking / Unlocking your Domain Name
Domain Name Locking is a crucial security feature as it prevents
domain names from being transferred away to other Registrars, without it being
explicitly removed. Placing a Lock has the following effects on your domain
name:
-
The Contact Details and Name Servers of such a Domain Name
can not be modified in this state.
-
A Transfer [Away] Request for this domain name to another
Registrar will fail at the Registry itself and will not be allowed.
-
An internal Move of this domain name (to another Customer
Account) would not be possible in this state.
-
Domain name Deletion would not be possible.
IMPORTANT
.EU/.UK
domain names do not support locking. Hence you can not lock a .EU/.UK domain
name.
Domain Names can be Locked/Unlocked from your Control Panel by following the
process mentioned below:
-
Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name that you wish to Lock/Unlock
and proceed to the Order Details view.
