As you might know ICANN has a new transfer policy since today. Some guys have told me unlocked domain names are no longer safe from now. They said if someone wants to transfer the domain out they can do it without anyone's permission etc...

Is that true ? Or are unlocked domains still safe ? Can someone transfer an unlocked domain away without my permission ?

Should I lock all domain names ? The reason why I do not want this is every time I have to change a customer's contact info DomainRightNow will send them an email trying to take over my business...

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Lock your domains.

Lock 'em or lose 'em

Ok, I did lock them all... Thanks everyone !

Lock them? You mean private registration?

>Lock them? You mean private registration?

No, lock them means that you can not make changes to them before your unlock them and you can't transfer them away without unlocking them first. It does not mean private registrations...
