All generic top-level domain name extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to hinder unsanctioned transfers of existing domains. Many domain name registry operators that supervise country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for the sake of security and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual 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 activated on purpose, so as to block any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the security measures for controlling the transfer of existing domains between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

Locking and unlocking a domain name registered through us is truly easy. This can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with our Linux cloud website hosting, and will require literally two mouse clicks. All your domain names will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the domain lock option, you’ll notice a padlock-like sign. Click on it once and you’ll notice the current status of the domain name. Click again and you’ll change its status. The update will take effect momentarily without the need for you or for us to do anything else for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup websites, so you can go ahead with the transfer process straight away.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through our company is amazingly easy and can be accomplished 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-like icon on their right. You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the update will propagate straight away, you will be able to continue with the domain name transfer process without having to wait for the lock status to be changed on WHOIS sites. If you change your mind and choose not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it again will be just as simple and will not require more than several clicks of the mouse in your Control Panel.
