Registrar lock prevents your domain from being transferred to another registrar without your explicit authorization. It should be kept enabled at all times unless you are actively transferring the domain out.

Toggling Registrar Lock

1

Navigate to Your Domain

Open your domain’s management page and click Registrar Lock in the left sidebar.
2

Toggle the Lock

Toggle the Registrar Lock Status switch on or off.

When to Disable

Disable registrar lock only when you need to transfer your domain to another registrar. Once the transfer is complete, the new registrar will apply their own lock. See Transferring Out for the full transfer-out process.
Keep the registrar lock enabled at all times unless you are actively initiating a transfer. An unlocked domain is vulnerable to unauthorized transfers, which can be difficult and time-consuming to reverse.
