If you register a domain name when you sign up for a Turbify plan, your domain will be locked automatically. We recommend turning locking off only in the event that you need to make changes to your domain name servers.

Domain locking prevents unauthorized transfers of your domain to another registrar or web host by protecting your name servers. When you change your name servers, the Internet looks to the new name server location to provide information related to your domain, including web site and email services. If you replace Turbify's default name servers, Turbify can no longer provide any services associated with your domain.

When your domain is locked, you'll be substantially protected from unauthorized third parties who might try to misdirect your name servers or transfer your domain without your permission. You will also be unable to inadvertently make changes to your name servers that could prevent Turbify from hosting your domain services properly. Only you will be able to unlock your domain to modify your name servers. Learn how to unlock your domain.
