I have gotten several for the $2.99

All mine say locked, and I have to unlock them in the domain control panel. I havent had any problems in changing dns with them.

Secondly . The registrar is some australian outfit.. thats not so terrible but its not yahoo..

Third.. the dns system rarely works.. if you change dns more than twice in 24 hours it locks up and you cant change the dns until you contact them..( and go thru the mindless tech supports ) If you get a new domain set the dns , and never change it , you might never have any problems ( until you try to change them )

Fourth .. domain locking.. i noticed no "locking" thing in the dns management , and upon checking my domain it said "unlocked" , so i called tech support and asked " how do i lock my domain " , he said " its locked , they are all locked " , i said " it say's unlocked clearly " , he says " dont worry they are all locked and can't be changed without going through a rigorous screening process ( etc ) , checks and such "
so i say " well then why dont you just put "locked" on the domain instead of having it say "unlocked", he says " dont worry about it , nobody can transfer your domain ". I said " well what if I want to transfer to a diff registrar " , he gave me some long line then said he couldn't answer than and had to ask someone else , but they werent in so call back " lol
