Subject [dns-operations] Registrars with a "registry lock" service
>Hello people! Our current registrar, Gandi, has increased the renewal
>prices of all our domains (.com, .net, .org and .community) to insane
>amounts, and we want to switch away from them. We're looking at some
>other registrars, viz. Joker (Germany), Oxxa (Netherlands) and PorkBun
>(USA). They all offer the usual features we would want from a good
>registrar, but none of them have any information on their website about
>a specific advanced feature we're looking for, which is called
>"registry lock". This is an advanced feature, where the registry
>applies a lock on the domain, and changes of any kind have to be
>verified with a phone call between registry and registrar. This lock is
>a stronger defence against attacks. When a domain has a registry lock
>on it, it's visible in the whois output as:
>
>Domain Status: serverDeleteProhibited
>https://icann.org/epp#serverDeleteProhibited
>Domain Status: serverRenewProhibited
>https://icann.org/epp#serverRenewProhibited
>Domain Status: clientTransferProhibited
>https://icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited
>Domain Status: serverTransferProhibited
>https://icann.org/epp#serverTransferProhibited
>Domain Status: serverUpdateProhibited
>https://icann.org/epp#serverUpdateProhibited
>
>In the above, the "clientTransferProhibited" is because of a "registrar
>lock". This is a standard feature provided by almost all registrars,
>and it's not what I'm after. I'm after the "serverDeleteProhibited",
>"serverRenewProhibited", "serverTransferProhibited" and
>"serverUpdateProhibited" lines. These ensure that the domain cannot be
>deleted, transferred, or modified without a manual check by the
>registry. Is anyone aware of registrars that provide this service?
>
