MyDiscountDomains.com considers the
safety and security of their customers' domain names as a top priority
mission due to the alarming increase in fraudulent domain transfer
requests and the many crooks who prey on the unsophisticated and those
who innocently have their guard down.
Our normal
security procedures will suffice in most
cases to keep your domain safe. If you have
any concerns, however, you can use our
Transfer Lock / Transfer Shield feature to
keep your domains secure.
To secure your
domain against unauthorized transfers, you
can lock your domain. Locking your domain
ensures that an authorization code (auth
code) cannot be generated for your domain,
and the auth code is required to transfer
your domain to another service provider.
This is a security feature that has been
designed to ensure that you have full
control over any changes made to your
domain.
To lock a domain
1.Click Manage, and log in to your account.
2.Beside the domain name, click Transfer
Lock.
3.In the Domain Locking drop-down list,
choose Enabled, and then click Save.
What is an auth code? The auth code is a
unique combination of characters, similar to
a password, that is used to show verifiable
proof of ownership of a domain. If you are
transferring a domain to another service
provider, you must supply the auth code to
that provider to show that you have the
authority to transfer the domain. The auth
code can only be generated by the owner of
the domain.

Transfer Lock Services (enable/disable),
