CLIENT TRANSFER PROHIBITED is an Extensible Provisioning Protocol code (typically used with a subset of gTLD's) which is functionally equivalent to the REGISTRAR-LOCK status described at the Registrar-Lock Wikipedia entry:


REGISTRAR-LOCK is a status code that
can be set on an Internet domain name
by the sponsoring registrar of the
domain name.1 This is usually
done in order to prevent unauthorized,
unwanted or accidental changes to the
domain name.

When set, the following actions are
prohibited by the domain name
registry:

* Modification of the domain name, including:
o Transferring of the domain name
o Deletion of the domain name


Renewal of the domain name is,
however, still possible when
REGISTRAR-LOCK is set.


GoDaddy provides facilities for locking and unlocking your domain if you plan to transfer it to a different registrar or make changes to the registrant information; it is generally recommended that you keep your domain locked when you are not making changes or transferring, as unlocked domains are vulnerable to unauthorized transfers.
