What is Domain Registrar Lock? (For new customers transferring to Z.com)

Domain Registrar Lock is a security feature offered by domain registrars to prevent unauthorised transfers of domain names. A domain should always be locked and only be unlocked if you wish to move to another registrar for your domain security.

This feature provides further protection against illegal domain transfers, which may result in unauthorised transfers. Further, secure your domain management account via your domain management dashboard to avoid fraudulent domain whois contact update changes.

You can use the WHOIS lookup tool to find out your domain name’s status. Locate the Status (Entry). If this is set to [OK], it means your domain is unlocked and ready for transfer.

To unlock your domain, log in to your domain registrar’s account dashboard and navigate to the settings or domain management area. Look for the Registrar Lock, Domain Lock, or a similar option. If your domain is locked, you should see an option to unlock it. The exact process may vary depending on your registrar. To unlock or deactivate the domain lock feature, follow the instructions or prompts provided by the registrar to complete the unlocking process.

It is important to know that unlocking your domain is necessary only when transferring it between registrars. Otherwise, keep your domain locked for security purposes.
