When locking is enabled for a domain, any requests to transfer the domain to another registrar or hosting company will automatically fail. This can be used to prevent fraudulent transfers of the domain, while locking is enabled.
Should you ever want to transfer the domain, or modify nameservers based on the domain, domain locking must first be disabled, before the relevant action is performed.
NOTE: If your domain was not regsitered via Netfirms Registrar, please contact your registrar to request your domain to be locked/unlocked. To find out who your registrar is, you can perform a whois query on your domain at http://www.allwhois.com.
