All generic domain name extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose purpose is to stop unwanted transfers of active domain names. Lots of domain name registry operators that manage country-code Top-Level Domains that do not support this option are in the process of introducing it for better security and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a person who has been given access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock option enabled deliberately, so as to stop any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock option is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domains between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

If you get a Linux cloud website hosting plan from our company, you will be able to manage all domains registered through us using our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just a few mouse clicks. All registrations will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a tiny padlock sign. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you want to transfer it away, you’ll just need to click once more and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the same location as the web hosting account itself, you will not have to log in and out of different Control Panel tools.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you would like to transfer a domain from our company to another domain registrar and you have a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to get the domain ready with only a few clicks. All your domain names will be listed in a separate section of the Hepsia Control Panel – the exact same tool via which you will manage your web hosting account. If a particular generic or country-code TLD supports the registrar lock option, you will see a padlock icon. You can see if the domain name is locked or not by clicking on that icon once and you can update the status by clicking once more. This is all it takes and there will be nothing else that you or we will need to do, so you can go ahead with the domain name transfer procedure right away. The change will propagate immediately, so you will not need to wait for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup websites.
