Features of Domain Name Lock

  • The Contact Details and Name Servers of such a domain name can not be modified in this state.

  • A Transfer [Away] Request for this domain name to another Registrar will fail at the Registry itself and will not be allowed.

  • An internal Move of this domain name (to another Customer Account) would not be possible in this state.

  • Domain name Deletion would not be possible.

Note

  • Bulk Lock / Unlock feature is not supported for domain names under the following extensions:

    • .EU (Domain name Locking not supported)

  • It is advised that you lock a domain name only in case of some payment related issue with your Customer or if the domain name is for your own use. Otherwise, enabling Theft Protection would suffice.

To Lock / Unlock Domain Names in Bulk

  1. Login to your Control Panel. 1

  2. In the Menu, point to Products -> Domain Registration -> Bulk Actions and then click Bulk Lock/Unlock.

  3. Mention the following details and click either Lock Orders or Unlock Orders as per the task at hand:

    • Lock/Unlock Orders By: Select either Order Id, Domain Name, Reseller Id or Customer Id. Selecting Reseller Id or Customer Id allows you to Lock/Unlock all domain names under the specified Sub-Reseller(s)/Customer(s).

    • Ids/Domain Names: Depending upon your choice in the above selection, you need to specify their details here.

    • Reason for Order Locking: You should specify the exact reason due to which you are locking these Orders, so that the Sub-Reseller/Customer may view the same from their Control Panel. The reason is visible to only your immediate Sub-Reseller/Customer.

    • Remove all Locks set by Sub-Resellers: Select this checkbox if while Unlocking domain names, you also wish to remove any/all Lock(s) placed by your Sub-Resellers on these domain names.

Attention

At any point of time, you can add upto 2 (two) Bulk actions/requests. This implies that you would not be able to add another Bulk Registration / Renewal / Transfer / Modification / Lock or Unlock / Suspend or Unsuspend / Privacy Protection request, if two Bulk Actions are already running. You will encounter the below error message in case you try to do so:

You already have the maximum allowed number of Bulk Operations running. Please wait for at least one to complete before starting another.

You will be able to add another Bulk request once one of the earlier requests has been processed completely.
