Prevent unauthorized transfer of your domain name 03/08/05 Email this story to a friend Due to recent adoption by ICANN of a change in domain name transfer policy, MyWebPal strongly recommends checking the status of your domain name. ICANN statement We are sending customers an email regarding a new ICANN-enforced domain name transfer policy, effective 11-12-04. It dictates that IF WE RECEIVE A TRANSFER REQUEST (and your domain names are not locked) we must honor the transfer, even if you do not confirm it. You can eliminate ANY chance of your domain names being transferred away without your permission by locking your domain names. Check with your domain name registry to lock your domain name to prevent unauthorized transfers.
