Registrar locks are a safeguard for internet domain names. The sponsoring registrar can set this status code to avoid unwanted changes affecting domains since all the information in the domain records is blocked from being accessed.
Only if the domain is unlocked, can changes take place and be updated in the registry records. After submitting the changes, the registrar lock is enabled again. Renewal of a domain name is possible, however, even if the registrar lock is set.
The domain registry will provide you the registrar lock at the time of your domain name registration. The domain registrar locking feature is to be set to each domain name separately. Single or multiple status codes are permissible for each domain record.
The registrar locking function basically forbids unauthorized name server changes or cancellations and also prevents any third party from accessing, transferring or hijacking your domain for their own use.
