All generic domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to block unsanctioned transfers of existing domain names. Many domain name registry operators that supervise country-code Top-Level Domains that do not support this option are in the process of adopting it for better security and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a registrant who has access to the account with the current registrar company can do that. New domains are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to prevent any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the security measures for controlling the transfer of active domain names between domain name registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

If you purchase a cloud 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 just a few clicks. All registrations will be listed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll notice a small padlock sign. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you want to transfer it, you’ll just have to click once more and that’s it. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the very same place as the web hosting account itself, you won’t need to sign in and out of different admin interfaces.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Managing your domains with us is unbelievably easy and the registrar lock feature makes no exception. In case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to manage the domain names registered through our company using the exact same Control Panel via which you’ll manage your hosting account. For the sake of convenience, the domain names will be shown in alphabetical order and on the right-hand side you’ll see a padlock-like icon in case the given domain supports the registrar lock option. If you click the icon, you’ll see if the given domain is locked or not and you’ll be able to alter this status by clicking once again. The status will change right away and you will be able to initiate the domain name transfer without having to wait for the change to be displayed on WHOIS lookup sites or for us to do anything on our end.
