All generic top-level domain name extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to stop unwanted transfers of active domain names. Many domain registry operators that supervise country-code Top-Level Domains that do not support this option are in the process of adopting it for the sake of security and for the convenience of the domain 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 can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock option activated deliberately, so as to block any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for controlling the transfer of existing domains between registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Website Hosting

If you order a Linux website hosting package from our company, you will be able to manage 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 couple of mouse clicks. 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’ll notice a mini padlock logo. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you would like to transfer it, you’ll just have to click once more and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the very same location as the hosting account itself, you won’t need to log in and out of different admin consoles.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through us is astonishingly easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You will find all your domains in the Domain Manager section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock-like icon on their right. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the update will take effect instantly, you’ll be able to initiate the domain name transfer procedure without having to wait for the registrar lock status to change on WHOIS sites. If you change your mind and decide not to transfer the domain name away from our company, locking it again will be just as easy and will not require more than a few clicks of the mouse in your hosting Control Panel.
