I just registered a domain name at Domainsite, I changed my nameservers to 110mb, and I'm waiting for 72 hrs for the change to take effect....
but I found something called Domain Lock in my domain CP.
Does anyone know what that is?
I think that prevents the change of nameservers.
Do I need to unlock my domain to change nameservers?
google didn't help..

I THINK that it means you cannot transfer your domain. Exactly. Domain lock means you cannot change your registrar (transfer your domain to another registrar), until you manually unlock the domain. I think that prevents the change of nameservers.
Do I need to unlock my domain to change nameservers? No. Domain lock has nothing to do with changing nameservers.I's normal for a domain to be locked, unless you want to transfer it. |

Domain lock means that the domain name system cannot transfer it to another party without your permission.
I.e., you've done very good work on a domain name and it had already became popular. I bribed a registrar to transfer the domain name to me. If you don't have it locked, you'll be sorry. (Of course domain hijacking is illegal.)
It is also known as CLIENT-TRANSFER-PROHIBITED.
Take care that you lock your domain. The most popular Cebuano online forum, istorya.net, used to live at istorya.com, but they got hijacked there.

Nope. It won't. I just locked my domain and saw that I can't modify nameservers. Sorry for misleading you.  |

Nope. It won't. I just locked my domain and saw that I can't modify nameservers. Sorry for misleading you. i changed my nameservers keeping the thing locked, and the nameservers have been changed in the control panel... I will come to know only after about 24 hrs... That's what it took me the last time on my co.cc domain, but this one's my first .com domain. |

But this article tells : If you register a domain name when you sign up for a Yahoo! plan, your domain will be locked automatically. We recommend turning locking off only in the event that you need to make changes to your domain name servers.
Domain locking prevents unauthorized transfers of your domain to another registrar or web host by protecting your name servers. When you change your name servers, the Internet looks to the new name server location to provide information related to your domain, including web site and email services. If you replace Yahoo!'s default name servers, Yahoo! can no longer provide any services associated with your domain. And I can't change my NS, now that I've locked my domain.  I will come to know only after about 24 hrs...
That's what it took me the last time on my co.cc domain You'll notice DNS changes fast(usually within a few minutes) if you are using OpenDNS. |

with my domain I just have a button I click to lock/unlock It's locked and if I need to make changes such as my info I just click unlock and change what I need to and than re-lock. My DNS isn't locked by the same process I can add records and lock them individually.

A typical ISP's DNS server is updated once or twice a day. But OpenDNS's DNS servers are updated pretty quickly(probably once per 15 mins). So if you are using OpenDNS, you'll experience faster propagation of DNS changes. |
