URL forwarding lets you "point" your domain to either another web server (often one of the free services) or a directory on another web server.

DNS is the Domain Name System, and any domain needs nameservers in order to be used.

Email forwarding lets you have email sent to you@yourdomain go to your yahoo account instead (for example).

Domain Locking refers to the ability to block changes to your nameservers, domain information or a domain transfer without you explicitly releasing the lock first.
