Does DirectNIC have Domain Lock ?

Hi guys,

Does DirectNIC have Domain Lock ? I can't find it on there.

After I turned off Domain Lock on Network Solutions to transfer a name to DirectNIC I didn't even have to confirm it which is kind of scaring.

Take care.

Yes they do but I am not sure where it is.

Hey Emperor,

Log into you Directnic account and click the "Customer Settings" link on the menu at the top of the page.

Scroll down until you find the link that says "Set Transfer Security" and click it.

You should find everything you need to lock or unlock your Directnic domains from there...

SF

I was just looking over my list of domains at Directnic to see if they were all set to "High Security" (locked) and I found that three of them were not. One is set to "Normal Security" (unlocked) and two are set to "Registrar-Hold"

"Normal Security" I understand, though I have no clue why this domain is not set to "High Security" like most of the others, but "Registrar-Hold"? What the hell is "Registrar-Hold"? I searched their FAQ's and Guides but found no reference to it. Does anyone have any idea what this means?

Thanks SF.

Hmm, about Registrar-Hold the only thing I can think of is that maybe the domain expired and it's still in a grace period or something like that. Just by the name it's hard to tell if it's more secure or less secure. Let us know if you find out.

Take care.

I learned what registrar hold is the hard way the bill for my first domain went to a hotmail account that I never use. You need to go bail your domains out before they go 404 on you

Emperor, T Pat,

Thanks, after reading both your posts it sparked a memory...Back in June both those domains came due but I was pretty busy and blew it off till the last second...

They must have been switched to Registrar-Hold then.

I was able to change them to Normal Security and then to High Security and all seems well. The third domain (The one set to Normal Security) seems to still have an issue. I've tried several times to change it to High Security but no luck...

I wish I had more time to figure this out but I'm going on a week long vacation tomorrow and I have a butt load of other things to do today already.

Thanks again for your help.

Regards,
SF
