There's zero reason to still use NetSol in 2021 except sheer masochism. Namecheap offers 2FA and registry lock for free.

Seriously, transfer your domains to almost literally any other registrar. They'll be better than NetSol.

I believe Namecheap only offers registrar lock (clientUpdateProhibited), not registry (serverUpdateProhibited). There are very few registrars that offer registry lock and they're all "enterprise", probably because the relationship required for registry unlock protocols to work doesn't scale with retail customers.

Off the top of my head: NetSol, MarkMonitor, CSC, maybe Cloudflare. There are more that will do it for specific ccTLDS (.ca has lots, for example).

Huh, looks like you're right about serverUpdateProhibited. TIL! Thanks.
