Domain Registration and Web Hosting Solutions >> Domains >>What does it mean when my domain name is locked >>
A "locked" domain cannot be transferred to a new registrar. Your current registrar may offer "transfer lock" or a similar service as a security measure to prevent unauthorized transfer of your domain name. If this feature is activated, you will need to log on to your account with your current registrar and turn this feature off before you can transfer your domain name.

Apart from enabling Theft protection for a domain name, you may also place a Lock on it. Applying a Lock on any domain name, has the following effects:
  • When you place a Lock on a domain name, all actions available for domain names may still be performed by only you or Reseller.
  • Types of Actions possible from the Order Details view:
    • Contact Details modification,
    • Name Servers modification,
    • Child Name Servers modification,
    • Theft Protection,
    • Suspension/Unsuspension,
    • Internal Move/Push/Transfer to another Customer Account, etc.
  • A Transfer [Away] Request for this domain name to another Registrar will fail at the Registry itself and will not be allowed (also supported by Theft Protection.)
