All generic top-level domain name extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to stop unsolicited transfers of existing domains. Lots of registry operators that supervise ccTLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for the sake of safety and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only an individual who has access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock option activated on purpose, so as to prevent any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of existing domains between domain registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Web Hosting

If you order a web hosting from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only a few mouse clicks. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a small padlock symbol. Clicking it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you would like to transfer it, you will just have to click once more and that’s it. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the very same place as the hosting account itself, you won’t need to sign in and out of different admin consoles.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through our company is truly easy and can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll find all your domains in the Domain Manager section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock-like icon next to them. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the update will propagate straight away, you’ll be able to continue with the domain transfer procedure without having to wait for the status to be updated on WHOIS sites. If you reconsider your decision and decide not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it again will be just as simple and will not take more than a couple of clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
