All generic domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to impede unapproved transfers of active domains. Lots of domain registry organizations that oversee country-code TLDs that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for the sake of safety and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has access to the account with the current registrar company can do that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled deliberately, so as to hinder any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domains between registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Web Hosting

If you buy a web hosting from our company, you will be able to manage all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only a couple of clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be displayed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll see a mini padlock sign. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you would like to transfer it away, 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 exact same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to sign in and out of different user interfaces.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

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