Enable domain lock (registrar lock) to prevent unauthorized transfers

5 min Impact: medium Effort: medium ✓ Manual completion

Domain lock, also called registrar lock, prevents your domain from being transferred to another registrar without your explicit authorization, a real protection against unauthorized domain hijacking.

An unlocked domain is vulnerable to unauthorized transfer attempts, which can result in genuinely losing control of your domain entirely, this is a simple setting that closes a serious risk.

How to do it

  1. 1
    Check your current lock status
    Most registrar dashboards show this directly in your domain settings.
  2. 2
    Enable registrar lock if not already active
    A single toggle in most registrar control panels.
  3. 3
    Confirm it applies to every domain you own
    Not just your primary domain, check any additional or variant domains too.
