For the complete Netlify documentation index, see llms.txt. Markdown versions of this page are available by appending .md to the URL. You can secure your domain and prevent domain takeovers and unauthorized domain or DNS changes by locking your domain.
What domain locking prevents
Section titled “What domain locking prevents”Once your domain is locked, other accounts on Netlify cannot do the following:
- set your domain as a custom domain or subdomain for their project
- add your domain as a domain alias
- create a DNS zone for your domain
- create a subdomain using your domain for a custom URL for Deploy Previews or branch deploys.
This ensures that your domain does not get accidentally or intentionally taken over.
The Netlify Team Owner retains full domain management capabilities, but cannot unlock the domain without reaching out to Support.
Lock or unlock your domain
Section titled “Lock or unlock your domain”To lock or unlock your domain, reach out to Netlify Support.
