All generic domain name extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to hinder unsanctioned transfers of active domains. Lots of domain registry organizations that oversee 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 name registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a registrant 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 impede any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the safety measures for regulating the transfer of active domains between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

Locking and unlocking a domain name registered through our company is really easy. This can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our Linux cloud hosting, and will require exactly two clicks of the mouse. All your domain names will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the registrar lock option, you will see a padlock-like logo. Click on it once and you’ll notice the domain name’s current status. Click again and you’ll alter its status. The change will take effect instantly without the need for you or for us to do anything else for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites, so you can continue with the transfer process right away.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is amazingly easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You’ll find all your domains in the Registered Domains section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock icon on their right. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect instantly, you will be able to continue with the transfer procedure without needing to wait for the lock status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites. If you change your mind and opt not to transfer the domain name away from us, locking it again will be just as easy and will not take more than a few clicks in your Control Panel.
