Setting up registrar locks for a dental office
31 Jan 2024
How a dental office deals with registrar locks — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: a 404 that still returns 200. This is where registrar locks breaks for a dental office.
The hosting bill for a dental office is twelve dollars a month. Their old provider charged eighty and included a page builder nobody used. registrar locks was broken on both plans.
When a dental office moved hosts, the outage was not the new box — it was a 404 that still returns 200. We keep TTL short the week of a move, then raise it once everything is stable.
When we reviewed registrar locks, the DNS panel showed a 404 that still returns 200. Two records contradicted each other, and the resolver picked one at random.
The chain of trust for registrar locks starts at the registrar. If the registrar account uses an email nobody reads, every downstream fix is temporary.
When a dental office asked for a quote on registrar locks, we sent a one-paragraph email instead of a slide deck. They signed the same day.
The job started when a dental office realised their registrar locks had been wrong for months. Nobody noticed because the site still loaded.
We rotate API keys for registrar locks annually. a dental office did not see the point until we showed them the access log: the old key had been used from an IP in a country nobody on their team has visited.
