Someone can steal your domain name

On 12 November 2004 the new ICANN Domain Name Transfer
Policy became effective.

Before that date domain name registrars were allowed to deny
any domain name transfer request without explicit consent of the
domain name owner.

With the new policy in effect, that isn’t possible any more.

Upon receiving a transfer request, the registrar should
still attempt to contact the domain owner for
confirmation, but according to the new policy:

“Failure by the Registrar of Record to respond
within five (5) calendar days to a notification
from the Registry regarding a transfer request will
result in a default ‘approval’ of the transfer.”.

If some evil mind decides to transfer your domain name and
you do NOT respond …….

Fortunately the new policy also provides a solution to
that.by preserving the ability of registrants
to “lock” their domains.

That’s what you have to do. Lock your domain name at your
registrar. I encourage you to do it now.

Lock your domain!!
