A domain has this:

Status: REGISTRAR-LOCK
Status: REGISTRAR-HOLD

Why both?

From what I know REGISTRAR-LOCK means that the domain is locked by the user. So any attempt to transfer the domain will be rejected by the registry. When it says REGISTRAR-HOLD, that means the registrar is renewing the domain name, or preparing it to be deleted, or just holding it for another reason. In network sol. case, they hold all expired domain names and don't let them drop for a LONG time. Good luck
