Domain Transfer Locking is a procedure that requires authorization to set up and then alter in the future (for transfers, updates and various other changes). Usually, registries that offer free domain locking have a self-service method that is inherently insecure – anyone who gets access to your account can turn the locking off. With Domain Transfer Lock, this cannot happen.

Once the process is initiated and all the procedures are followed, we can have your domain transfer locked within a few hours (some domains might require a couple of days to work with the registrar lock).

Registrar lock, also known as domain lock or transfer lock, is a security feature provided by domain registrars to protect domain names from unauthorized transfers. When a domain is locked, it prevents any changes or transfers to the domain’s registration information, including transferring the domain to a different registrar or modifying its DNS settings.

The purpose of a registrar lock is to add an extra layer of security and prevent unauthorized individuals from hijacking or transferring ownership of a domain without the owner’s consent. By enabling the registrar lock, domain owners can ensure that their domain remains under their control and reduce the risk of domain theft or unauthorized modifications.
