There is an increasing occurrence of domain name theft by unscrupulous web
hackers and crooks who usually go out and prey on clean-handed internet users. These net users in turn know nothing about domain name security. It is because of this unlikelihood that domain registrars are becoming more and more vigilant in terms of domain safety and security.
In response to this alarming contingency, ICANN or Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers came up with the Domain Name Transfer Policy in 2004 to implement hard-nosed
protective security against unauthorized transfers and to expedite choice in domain name registration. As a consequence, domain name registrars should be prompted to use a standard form of authorization that that provides for the clear-cut consent of the domain name registrant before the transfer process is initiated.
All registrars are now required to use a clear standardized form of authorization that provides for the clean-cut consent of the registrant before the process of domain name transfer. Through the use of the
domain lock feature, customers can be assured that their domain names are not at risk from theft or hijacking. They also provide an easy way for customers to unlock their domain names whenever they want to move them.
