All generic TLD extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to impede unsanctioned transfers of active domains. Many registry operators that oversee country-code TLDs that don’t support this feature are in the process of adopting it for the sake of security and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a registrant who has been given access to the account with the current registrar company can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to hinder any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of existing domain names between domain registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Web Hosting

If you purchase a Linux web hosting from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be listed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll see a small padlock icon. Clicking it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain is locked and you would like to transfer it away, you will just need to click once more and you will be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the exact same location as the hosting account itself, you won’t need to log in and out of different systems.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is unbelievably easy and can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll see all your domains in the Registered Domains section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock-like icon on their right. You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect momentarily, you will be able to continue with the domain transfer without needing to wait for the registrar lock status to change on WHOIS websites. If you reconsider your decision and decide not to transfer the domain name away from our company, locking it again will be just as simple and will not require more than several clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
