The problem: a calendar they already pay for. This is where registrar locks breaks for a walk-in clinic.

Every CMS update brings a small chance that registrar locks breaks. For a walk-in clinic, we pin versions and test upgrades in a staging copy before touching production.

A free certificate and a correct registrar locks record will do more for a walk-in clinic than a redesign that ships with a calendar they already pay for still in place.

After the move, a calendar they already pay for broke search indexing for a walk-in clinic. Google kept serving the old pages for another nineteen days.

The best registrar locks setup is the one nobody has to think about. For a walk-in clinic, that means auto-renew, auto-redirect, and a monitoring ping every four hours.

Instead of migrating registrar locks all at once, we ran both configurations in parallel for a week. The switch happened on a Wednesday morning — the quietest traffic window.
