Default Registrar lock



I have a few domain names with NSI and others with GoDaddy. I noticed that
NSI did an automatic lock for my domain names while I had to manually lock
the ones at Godaddy.

I wonder why Godaddy didn't lock theirs automatically too. I mean to
protect their customers and investment, it would be an advantage to lock
the domain names. Can a registrar do a blanket lock on all their customers'
domain names?

Default Re: Registrar lock

I was wondering that, too, but this might be one of those 'damned if you do,
damned if you don't' things. Obviously, you're going to have people who
don't read up on this kind of thing (despite the stand-out banner at the top
of every page on GoDaddy's website,) and wonder what the hell 'locked'
means. You'll have the few in that group that get irate and think their
domain has been locked out and can't be used, etc.

People could also get mad that GoDaddy did something to their account
without their permission. Other reasons go along these veins of thinking.

Myself, if I was in charge, I would have locked them all down automatically.
Perhaps GoDaddy Support has had some experiences in the past that told them
that they should do otherwise...
