The registrar lock controls whether a domain can be transferred to another registrar. Enable the lock to prevent a transfer, or disable it to allow one. This article describes the types of domain locks, how to lock or unlock a single domain, how to lock domains in bulk, and how to check the progress of a bulk lock.
Note: If you purchased your domain through Google, you can enable or disable the registrar lock through the access.enom.com portal.
