serverTransferProhibited

What is serverTransferProhibited?

The serverTransferProhibited domain status code indicates that a domain cannot be transferred from one registrar to another, providing an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorized transfers and domain hijacking. This status is set at the registry level and can be applied during the initial registration period, by manual locking from the registrar, or in cases of policy violations.

To check if a domain has the serverTransferProhibited status, a Whois lookup can provide detailed information about the domain's current status codes. If the domain is locked, contacting the registrar is necessary to initiate the process of removing the status and proceeding with the transfer.
