All generic extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to impede unsolicited transfers of active domain names. Many domain registry organizations that manage country-code Top-Level Domains that do not support this option are in the process of adopting it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only an individual who has been granted access to the account with the current registrar company can do that. New domain names are registered with the lock option activated deliberately, so as to stop any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the security measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

If you buy a Linux cloud hosting package from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just several mouse clicks. All registrations will be displayed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a tiny padlock icon. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you want to transfer it away, you will just need to click for the second time and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the same location as the hosting account itself, you won’t have to sign in and out of different Control Panel tools.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is astonishingly easy and can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You’ll find all your domain names in the Domain Manager section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock icon on their right. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the update will propagate right away, you’ll be able to start the domain name transfer procedure without having to wait for the registrar 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 again will be just as easy and will not require more than several mouse clicks in your Control Panel.
