What is Registry Lock?
Registry Lock is an additional security service designed to help protect domain names against unauthorized changes and transfers.
When Registry Lock is enabled, certain actions, i.e. domain transfers, nameserver updates, contact changes, and domain deletions, require additional authorization before they can be completed. This provides an extra layer of protection against domain hijacking, unauthorized access, and accidental modifications.
How do I enable Registry Lock?
To enable Registry Lock through the BrandShelter portal:
- Navigate to Domains → Portfolio.
- Select the domain name for which you would like to enable Registry Lock.
- Click on the burger menu and select Add Registry Lock.
- The service will be added to your shopping cart.
- After the order has been submitted, the BrandShelter team will contact you and provide the required Registry Lock authorization form.
- Once the completed form has been received, our team will proceed with activating Registry Lock for the domain.
Please note that activation timelines may vary depending on the registry and TLD.
Why don't I see the "Add Registry Lock" option?
If the Add Registry Lock option is not available, one of the following may apply:
Registry Lock is not supported for the selected TLD.
Registry Lock is available, but activation is handled manually by our team rather than through the portal.
If you are unsure whether Registry Lock is available for your domain, please see the list of supported TLDs below.
