All generic extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to hinder unsolicited transfers of existing domain names. Lots of registry organizations that oversee country-code Top-Level Domains that do not support this feature are in the process of introducing it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a registrant who has access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock option activated deliberately, so as to hinder any unwanted 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 introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Web Hosting

If you get a web hosting plan from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domains registered through us using our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just several mouse clicks. All registrations will be listed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll see a mini padlock symbol. Clicking it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you’d like to transfer it away, 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 domains are managed in the exact same place as the web hosting account itself, you will not have to log in and out of different systems.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through our company is incredibly easy and can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You will find 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 update will propagate instantaneously, you’ll be able to initiate the domain name transfer process without the need to wait for the status to be changed on WHOIS lookup sites. If you change your mind and decide not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not require more than several clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel.
