Accepted Answer

Across the web, domain hijacking incidents have become increasingly common and hijackers are using advanced tactics to gain control over domains. At Dynadot, we provide a comprehensive complimentary security package to safeguard your domains, but with the added registry lock service, you can add an additional level of protection to your most valuable domains. It is currently available for the following domains: .com, .net and .cc but there are plans to extend to other TLDs in the future. More information about Registry Locks can be found in our help section

Question 6

What is the process of using the registry lock service?

Accepted Answer

To activate the Registry Lock Service, an authorized individual designated by the registrar must submit a list of domain names or hosts. This individual, initiating the request via email, needs to provide their security phrase, along with various account security phrases, for confirmation. After authentication, Verisign implements server status codes to place the requested domain names or hosts under the Registry Lock Service. Once locked, changes to these domains or hosts require the same secure, authenticated process for any modifications. More information about the process can be found in our help section

Accepted Answer

1. An authorized individual designated during onboarding must email Verisign to request the removal of the Registry Lock server status code(s).

3. Once unlocked, Verisign confirms via email to the authorized individual.

4. The registrar can then make desired changes using SRS.

Question 8
