Domain Name Locking is a crucial security feature as it prevents domain names frem 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 Names can be Locked/Unlocked from your Control Panel by following the process mentioned below -
