Domain locking

Domain studio offers domain locking which prevents your domain name from being hijacked or accidentally transferred.

Domain studio considers the safety and security of their customers' domain names as a top priority due to the alarming increase in fraudulent domain transfer requests. Our normal security procedures will suffice in most cases to keep your domain safe.

If you have any concerns, however, you can use our Domain Locking feature to keep your domains secure. Your domain will have to be unlocked by you before the domain can change hosting, contacts, registrants or even transfer out to another registrar.

When a domain is locked you cannot modify the name servers or contact information. If you need to update name servers or other information, please unlock your domain name first. Selected domains will be unlocked within 15 minutes.

To lock or unlock your Domain Name:

Step 1: Log in to the Domain Studio Account Manager.

Step 2: Select Manage Domains from the Domain Names dropdown menu or the Manage Your Account list.
