All generic extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to hinder unsanctioned transfers of existing domains. Lots of registry organizations that manage ccTLDs that don’t support this feature are in the process of adopting it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain name 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 domain registrar can do that. New domains are registered with the lock feature activated intentionally, so as to stop any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock option 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 Hosting

If you order a cloud service from our company, you’ll be able to manage all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with only several 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 notice a mini padlock logo. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you wish to transfer it, you’ll 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 administered in the same place as the hosting account itself, you will not need to log in and out of different user interfaces.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is extremely easy and can be achieved through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You’ll see all your domain names in the Domain Manager section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock-like icon on their right. You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the change will propagate right away, you will be able to initiate the domain name transfer procedure without waiting for the registrar lock status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites. If you change your mind and decide not to transfer the domain name away from us, locking it once again will be just as easy and will not require more than a couple of clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
