All generic TLD extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to block unauthorized transfers of existing domain names. Many domain name registry operators that supervise country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this option are in the process of adopting it for better security and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a registrant who has access to the account with the current registrar company can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock option enabled deliberately, so as to prevent any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domains between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

With a Linux cloud hosting package from our company, you will have complete command over your domain names through our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you’d like, including locking and unlocking any of the domain names registered here, on the condition that the particular TLD extension supports this feature. Clicking on the padlock symbol that you will see next to any domain name registered in your Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking on it once again will permit you to modify that status. In case you wish to transfer a domain to another domain registrar, you can start the process momentarily. Since unlocking a domain through your Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation time or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you will just have to complete the exact same steps.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through us is exceptionally easy and can be achieved through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You will see all your domains in the Domain Manager section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock icon next to them. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the update will take effect right away, you will be able to initiate the domain transfer procedure without waiting for the lock status to be changed on WHOIS lookup websites. If you reconsider your decision and opt not to transfer the domain name away from our company, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not take more than a few clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
