All generic extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to hinder unapproved transfers of existing domains. Many domain name registry organizations that supervise country-code Top-Level Domains that don’t support this option are in the process of adopting it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a registrant who has access to the account with the current registrar company can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature activated deliberately, so as to prevent any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock option is among 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 Website Hosting

Locking and unlocking a domain name registered through us is incredibly easy. This can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our Linux cloud website hosting, and will take exactly two clicks. All your domains will be shown alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the domain lock option, you’ll see a padlock-like icon. Click on it once and you will see the domain name’s present status. Click once more and you will alter its status. The change will propagate instantaneously without the need for you or for us to do anything else for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites, so you can proceed with the transfer procedure straight away.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you want to transfer a domain name from our company to another registrar company and you have a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to get the domain name ready with just a few mouse clicks. All your domain name registrations will be displayed in a separate section of the Hepsia Control Panel – the exact same tool via which you’ll administer your web hosting account. If a specific gTLD or ccTLD supports the registrar lock option, you’ll see a padlock icon. You can see whether the domain is locked or not by clicking on that icon once and you can update the status by clicking for a second time. This is all it takes and there will be nothing else that you or our company will need to do, so you can initiate the domain transfer straight away. The change will propagate instantly, so you won’t have to wait for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites.
