    If a domain is unlocked, that means someone else can attempt to move or change the registar's information. Things like the dns hosting, the address of the person registering it, etc.

    If a domain is locked, any attempt automatically fails.

    Hope this helps,

    Yes, please lock it now! :D

    'Lock' is very important in order to prevent any attempts of transferring your domain name to another registrar.

    Locking the domains adds more security to your domains from hack attempts..
