B.01
A stolen password, a forged transfer request or a slip of the hand can no longer make your domain disappear
Registry Lock
We lock your domain directly at the registry. Transfers, deletion and name server changes are then only possible after a verified release. This is worthwhile for domains whose loss would hurt your business, such as your main brand, your shop or your mail domain.
01
Your Benefits
B.02
The lock sits one level below any customer account, at the registry itself rather than just at the registrar
B.03
Changes are still possible, but only through a defined release process with identity checks
B.04
If domain security is part of your compliance, you can demonstrate the protection to auditors and insurers
02
Service scope
L.01
We check for each domain whether its extension supports Registry Lock, as not every registry offers it
L.02
We activate the lock at the responsible registry via the Netsource DNS Service
L.03
Locked actions are transfers, deletion and changes to name servers and holder data
L.04
A defined release process for intended changes: named persons, identity check, temporary unlock and re-lock
L.05
We record the protection status in your domain portfolio
03
Requirements and exclusions
→ Prerequisites
- The domain is managed by Netsource (NDS-DOM-DE)
- The extension supports Registry Lock; we check this in advance
- Named persons authorised to approve unlocks
✗ Not included
- Registry Lock secures the domain itself. Access to the customer account and the DNS zone is protected by DomainSafe (NDS-DOM-SAFE)
- The lock does not stop a domain from expiring. Renewal continues under NDS-DOM-DE
- Every intended change takes longer with the lock in place, so it is best kept for domains where the protection justifies the effort
- Trademark-based blocking of third-party registrations (domain blocking, TMCH) is consulting and project work
