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.
