All generic extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to block unauthorized transfers of existing domains. Many domain name registry organizations that manage country-code top-level domain names that do not support this option are in the process of adopting it for better security and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a registrant who has been given access to the account with the current registrar company can accomplish that. New domains are registered with the lock option activated deliberately, so as to hinder any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for regulating the transfer of active domain names between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Web Hosting

If you purchase a Linux web hosting from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a mini padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you wish to transfer it away, you will just have to click for the second time and that’s it. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the exact same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to log in and out of different admin dashboards.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through our company is truly easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll see all your domains in the Registered Domains section and those 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 take effect straight away, you’ll be able to continue with the domain transfer procedure without needing to wait for the lock status to be changed on WHOIS websites. If you reconsider your decision and opt not to transfer the domain name away from our company, locking it once again will be just as easy and will not require more than a few clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
