What is a security package, what does it do and what does it prevent?
Domain name security packages consist of locks applied to a domain name to protect it against external interference. These locks are intended to increase the security of the domain name.
In which situations do security packages help?
Having a security package on a domain name protects it against user account takeover and software vulnerabilities.
Which domain name extensions are Security Packages available for?
Security Packages are currently available only for .com, .net and .org domain names.
How do I buy a security package?

How many types of Security Packages does METUnic offer?
METUnic offers 2 Security Packages: the Extended Security Package and the Professional Security Package.
What are the differences between the Security Packages?
The main difference between the Extended Security Package and the Professional Security Package is which party applies the domain name statuses/domain name locks placed on the domain names. In the Extended Security Package, the lock statuses are applied by METUnic (Registrar), while in the Professional Security Package, they are applied by the Registry.
Which actions cannot be performed from the control panel for a domain name with a Security Package?
For domain names with an active Security Package, actions such as transferring the domain name to another registrar, changing DNS settings or deleting the domain name cannot be performed through your METUnic account.
Do security packages also block internal transfers, holder changes and similar operations?
Security packages block internal transfers. However, they do not block holder updates.
How often are security packages renewed? Do renewal periods differ between packages?
Security packages can be renewed annually. When purchasing a security package, the selected package can be applied for a period up to the domain name's expiration date at most. If less than one year remains until the domain name's expiration date, the package is applied until that date and the fee is calculated monthly for the remaining period.
If a customer has a security service with another registrar, does it continue after the domain name is transferred to METUnic?
No. When the transfer is completed, the security package provided by the previous registrar ends. The customer can start protecting the domain name by choosing one of METUnic's security packages.
Does anything change for customers without a security package?
Customers who do not buy a security package continue to benefit from the standard security services (2FA and Transfer Lock).
Can I pause my security package temporarily?
Yes. For example, when you need to transfer your domain name, you can request a pause using the "Temporarily Pause Security Package" option on the security package's "Manage Service" screen in your user panel; the request is verified with an SMS code sent to your phone.
While the package is paused, the locks on the domain name are removed. At the end of 7 days, the locks and the service are reactivated automatically. To reactivate before this period ends, you can use the "Resume Paused Security Package" option.
In the Professional Security Package, removing and re-adding the registry-level locks takes place with the registry's approval.
