All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to hinder unapproved transfers of active domains. Many domain name registry operators that manage country-code top-level domain names that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a person 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 intentionally, so as to prevent any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domains between registrar companies that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

If you purchase a Linux cloud web hosting service from our company, you will be able to manage all domains registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only a couple of mouse clicks. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a small padlock symbol. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you would like to transfer it away, you’ll just need to click once again and you will be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the 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 Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through us is incredibly easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You’ll find all your domains in the Domain Manager section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock icon on their right. You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the change will propagate immediately, you’ll be able to start the domain name transfer process without needing to wait for the status to change on WHOIS lookup websites. If you change your mind and choose not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not require more than a couple of clicks of the mouse in your Control Panel.
