Domain Lock / Unlock A Safety Latch for Your Domain
Think of your domain like a front door: you want to keep it securely locked against unwanted visitors. Domain Lock is the “safety latch” that stops anyone else from transferring your domain away without your say-so. And when you need to move or update it, you simply “unlock” it. On this page, you’ll learn exactly what Domain Lock / Unlock means and how BitByHost makes it straightforward.
Lock = Safety; Unlock = Access
What Is Domain Lock / Unlock?
Locked
Prevents any domain transfer attempts from being processed, even if someone has your domain’s details. It’s a built-in safety feature to protect your domain ownership.
Unlocked
Temporarily opens the door for transferring your domain to another registrar. With the correct EPP code, the transfer can be initiated once this setting is disabled.
Registrar Control
You can easily manage the lock/unlock status from your account dashboard. No tech skills needed—just toggle the setting when you’re ready to transfer.
Why Domain Lock Matters
Protect Your Online Identity . Keep Hijackers Out
Avoid losing your domain by mistake.
Keep your visitors on your site, not a scammer’s.
Relax knowing your domain won’t wander off.
When and How to Use Domain Lock / Unlock
You don’t need to unlock every day—only when you plan a verified transfer or need to change registrars. Here’s a quick guide:
Keep It Locked
By default, newly registered domains at Cloudoora are locked automatically.
Plan Your Transfer
When you’re ready to transfer, log in to your Cloudoora dashboard.
Unlock Briefly
Click “Unlock,” copy your EPP (transfer) code, then initiate the transfer at the new registrar.
Relock Immediately
After the transfer completes, return to Cloudoora and relock your domain.
