If it is locked down, it can not be transferred without, iirc, a picture of your driver's license or something like that. There may also be time delays. For my valuable sites, I pay for this service.
- rwallace 13y agoThat sounds like a good idea. How do you do it?
- harvestmoon 13y agoQuote from GoDaddy: Go Daddy offers Protected Registration, which prevents a domain name from being transferred to another registrar. The product includes our privacy service, as well as a Deadbolt lock. Our Deadbolt lock means that in order to cancel the service, you must show documented proof of your identification, which makes the lock more robust than a standard registrar lock. This may seem “cumbersome,” but that is the point; if the domain name is valuable to you, you would be well-served to use product that safeguards against making it easy for a hijacker to gain access.
