All generic TLD extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to impede unauthorized transfers of existing domain names. Lots of registry organizations that oversee country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this feature are in the process of adopting it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has been given access to the account with the current registrar company can do that. New domain names are registered with the lock option enabled deliberately, so as to stop any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domains between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

With a Linux cloud package from us, you’ll exercise absolute control over your domain names through our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you would like, including locking/unlocking any of the domains registered through us, on the condition that the particular Top-Level Domain extension supports this option. Clicking the padlock sign that you will see next to any domain name registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it once again will allow you to edit that status. If you wish to transfer a domain to another registrar company, you can start the process without any delays. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation time or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just need to complete the exact same steps.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through our company is exceptionally easy and can be achieved through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll find all your domain names in the Domain Manager section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock-like icon next to them. You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the update will take effect instantaneously, you will be able to start the domain name transfer without waiting for the lock status to be updated on WHOIS websites. If you reconsider your decision and opt not to transfer the domain name away from us, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not require more than several clicks of the mouse in your Control Panel.
