All generic TLD extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to prevent unsolicited transfers of active domain names. Many domain name registry organizations that oversee country-code Top-Level Domains that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for the sake of safety and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain name 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 domain registrar can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to stop any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domains between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Website Hosting

If you get a Linux website hosting plan from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just several clicks. All registrations will be displayed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a tiny padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain is locked and you want to transfer it, you will just have to click once again and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the very same location as the hosting account itself, you will not need to log in and out of different interfaces.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is extremely easy and can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll see all your domain names in the Registered Domains section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock icon on their right. You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the update will take effect right away, you will be able to continue with the transfer procedure without waiting for the lock status to be updated on WHOIS websites. If you reconsider your decision and opt not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it once again will be just as easy and will not take more than a few clicks in your Control Panel.
