All generic domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to prevent unauthorized transfers of active domain names. Many domain registry operators that oversee country-code TLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing 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 an individual who has been given access to the account with the current registrar can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled on purpose, so as to prevent any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the security measures for controlling the transfer of active domains between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

If you buy a cloud web hosting from our company, you’ll be able to manage all domains registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with only a few mouse clicks. All registrations will be displayed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll see a mini padlock symbol. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you wish to transfer it, you will just need to click once again and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the very same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to log in and out of different platforms.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through us is exceptionally easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You will see all your domain names 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 by clicking on its icon and since the change will propagate instantly, you’ll be able to initiate the transfer process without needing to wait for the lock status to change on WHOIS lookup websites. If you change your mind and choose not to transfer the domain name away from our company, locking it again will be just as easy and will not require more than a few clicks in your hosting Control Panel.
