Domain locking

[Kodeking]

What does it mean to "lock" a domain name?

It means to prevent transferring domain away from current registrar.

Thanks for the reply.
Another question:
So wouldn't you want to lock it all the time? Until you want to transfer it?

Yes

It also prevents fraudulent DNS updates, in addition to intra-registrar transfers.

Always a good idea to lock you domains.

I suggest you to forward all your uquestions to your registrar. Each of them has it's own policy
