All generic domain name extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to hinder unauthorized transfers of active domains. Many domain name registry operators that manage country-code TLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for better security and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a registrant who has been granted access to the account with the current registrar company can accomplish that. New domains are registered with the lock option activated on purpose, so as to block any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domain names between domain registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

With a cloud web hosting from our company, you will have absolute authority over your domain names through our custom Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you would like, including locking/unlocking any of the domain names registered here, on the condition that the specific domain name extension supports this feature. Clicking the padlock icon that you will find next to any domain registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking it once more will allow you to change that status. In case you’d like to transfer a domain name to another domain registrar, you can start the procedure momentarily. Since unlocking a domain name through your Control Panel will take effect momentarily, no propagation time or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you will just have to follow the exact same steps.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Managing your domain names with our company is amazingly easy and the registrar lock feature makes no exception. If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to manage the domains registered through our company using the same Control Panel via which you’ll administer your hosting account. For your convenience’s sake, the domain names will be listed in alphabetical order and on the right-hand side you will see a padlock icon in case the particular domain supports the registrar lock option. If you click on the icon, you will see if the specific domain is locked or not and you’ll be able to change this status by clicking once again. The status will be changed instantly and you will be able to initiate the domain name transfer process without the need to wait for the update to be displayed on WHOIS lookup sites or for us to do anything on our end.
