Registry Lock for Maximum Domain Security
Registry Lock is the highest level of protection for your most critical domains. It prevents unauthorised changes to ownership and DNS settings, even if registrar access is compromised, helping you defend against hijacking, disruption, and fraud.
Takeover Protection
Stops unauthorised transfers and hijacking attempts.
DNS Change Control
Prevents unauthorised DNS or name server updates.
Secure Changes
Adds verification to reduce accidental changes.
When to Use Registry Lock
Registry Lock is best suited for domains that are critical to your organisation’s security and operations. It is recommended for high-value domains where unauthorised changes or downtime would have serious impact, including:
- Primary corporate domains (e.g. yourbrand.com)
- Domains used for email and authentication
- Customer portals and business-critical services
- High-visibility brand domains targeted by attackers
Protect → Verify → Control
How Registry Lock Works
Registry Lock adds a registry-level security layer that blocks changes to your domain unless a strict verification process is completed. This provides maximum domain security, even in the event of compromised credentials.
