Hi Anand,
Hexonet supports it for .com, .net, and some other TLDs, but unfortunately not
for .org (where we need it) and .community:
https://wiki.hexonet.net/wiki/Registry_Lock#Supported_TLDs
We got an account there; feel free to message me privately if you need more
info.
Best,
Peter

Hello people! Our current registrar, Gandi, has increased the renewal prices of all our
domains (.com, .net, .org and .community) to insane amounts, and we want to switch away
from them. We're looking at some other registrars, viz. Joker (Germany), Oxxa
(Netherlands) and PorkBun (USA). They all offer the usual features we would want from a
good registrar, but none of them have any information on their website about a specific
advanced feature we're looking for, which is called "registry lock". This is an
advanced feature, where the registry applies a lock on the domain, and changes of any
kind have to be verified with a phone call between registry and registrar. This lock is a
stronger defence against attacks. When a domain has a registry lock on it, it's visible
in the whois output as:
Domain Status: serverDeleteProhibited https://icann.org/epp#serverDeleteProhibited
<https://icann.org/epp#serverDeleteProhibited>
Domain Status: serverRenewProhibited https://icann.org/epp#serverRenewProhibited
<https://icann.org/epp#serverRenewProhibited>
Domain Status: clientTransferProhibited
https://icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited
<https://icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited>
Domain Status: serverTransferProhibited
https://icann.org/epp#serverTransferProhibited
<https://icann.org/epp#serverTransferProhibited>
Domain Status: serverUpdateProhibited https://icann.org/epp#serverUpdateProhibited
<https://icann.org/epp#serverUpdateProhibited>
In the above, the "clientTransferProhibited" is because of a "registrar lock". This is a standard feature provided by
almost all registrars, and it's not what I'm after. I'm after the "serverDeleteProhibited", "serverRenewProhibited",
"serverTransferProhibited" and "serverUpdateProhibited" lines. These ensure that the domain cannot be deleted,
transferred, or modified without a manual check by the registry. Is anyone aware of registrars that provide this service?
