• Locking/Unlocking a domain

    Domain Name Locking is a crucial security feature as it ensures that the details of the domain can not be modified and the domain name can not be transferred away. Locking a domain prevents any modifications to the domain until it is unlocked. The contact details and nameserver associations of such a domain can not be modified in this state. Such a domain can not be deleted or renewed until this lock is removed.

    You can Lock/Unlock your domain by following steps:

    Step1: In the "Domain Management " section, click the link "Locking/Unlocking". Following screen will be displayed.



    The current status of the domain will be displayed in the "Status" column. You can either Lock or Unlock a domain depending on the current status.

    Step 2: If the current status of the domain is "Unlocked" and you want to lock it, click the "Lock " link shown below.



    Step3: After locking a domain, the "Lock" link in the above screen will be replaced by "Unlock". To unlock a domain, click the "Unlock" link. The status of the domain should now be shown as "Unlocked".
