What is a domain lock?

A domain lock is a security feature that prevents unauthorized transfers of a domain name from one registrar to another. When a domain is locked, it cannot be transferred to a different registrar until it is unlocked.

The domain lock is usually enabled by default when you register a new domain or make changes to your domain contact information. This is to prevent accidental or unauthorized transfers of the domain.

To unlock a domain, you will need to follow the steps I outlined in my previous answer. It's important to note that you should only unlock your domain if you are planning to transfer it to a different registrar, as unlocking it can make it vulnerable to unauthorized transfers.

If you are not planning to transfer your domain, it's a good idea to keep the lock enabled to ensure the security of your domain.
