Protect your website from domain name hijacking. Domain hijacking is when an attacker tries to access your domain name system. Registry lock prevents this by making sure no changes are made to your domain unless there’s human authentication. The lock puts a server hold on your domain that can only be unlocked by the registry. This extra layer of security makes sure that your domain is only modified if you contact the registry.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does registry lock work?
Registry lock is a security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your domain at the registry level. It prevents unauthorized changes, such as domain transfers, DNS changes, or deletions. To make changes to a domain with registry lock, a multi-step authentication process is required, which often includes manual verification with the registrar and registry.
Is registry lock the highest level of protection for my top-level domains?
Yes, registry lock provides the highest level of protection for your top-level domains (TLDs). It safeguards domains against unauthorized transfers, updates, and deletions, which are typically the most critical security threats to domain owners. Combined with strong authentication protocols, it is an essential security measure for valuable domains.
How can I tell if my domain is locked?
You can check if your domain is locked by querying your domain’s WHOIS record. If the domain is locked, you will typically see a status like 'clientTransferProhibited', 'clientUpdateProhibited', or 'clientDeleteProhibited' listed in the domain status field. Additionally, you can consult with your domain registrar to verify the lock status.
