How to Lock or Unlock Your WHC Domain
Understanding Domain Locks
A domain lock is a security feature that prevents unauthorized changes to your domain name settings, such as transfers to another registrar. By locking your domain, you safeguard it against potential threats and unauthorized access, ensuring that only authorized users can make modifications. Unlocking the domain is necessary when you need to transfer it or make specific changes to its settings.
