All generic domain name extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to hinder unsanctioned transfers of active domains. Many domain registry operators that oversee country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only an individual who has access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to prevent any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between domain name registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

Locking and unlocking a domain name registered through us is exceptionally easy. This can be achieved through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our Linux cloud website hosting, and will take exactly two mouse clicks. All your domain names will be listed in alphabetical order in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the domain lock option, you’ll see a padlock-like logo. Click on it once and you will notice the domain’s present status. Click again and you’ll change its status. The update will take effect instantaneously without the need for you or for us to do anything else for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites, so you can initiate the transfer right away.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through our company is really easy and can be done through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll see all your domains in the Registered Domains section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock-like icon next to them. You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the update will propagate right away, you will be able to proceed with the domain name transfer process without needing to wait for the lock status to be updated on WHOIS sites. If you change your mind 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 in your Control Panel.
