The following information relates to all .com and .net domain names registered with us:
On the 12th November 2004 ICANN are introducing a new policy designed to make transfers of .com and .net domain names between registrars quicker, and easier. From this date, if there is no acknowledgement from the "admin contact" within 5 days of a transfer request being made, the transfer will automatically take place.
We are very concerned that this system will make it easier for domain names to be fraudulently transferred away, without the owner's knowledge or consent, and are therefore taking steps to guard against this.
We will be introducing "domain locking" free of charge on all domain names that we manage for our customers. A "LOCK" state will be placed on all domains with ICANN, this means a transfer is automatically rejected.
Domain names can be unlocked on a per domain basis should you wish to transfer to another registrar - please simply contact our helpdesk before you initiate a transfer and request your name is unlocked.
