All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to hinder unauthorized transfers of existing domains. Many domain name registry operators that supervise ccTLDs that do not support this option are in the process of introducing 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 been granted access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature activated intentionally, so as to hinder any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domain names between registrar companies that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Website Hosting

With a shared website hosting service from our company, you will exercise total command over your domains through our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you would like, including locking & unlocking any of the domains registered here, on the condition that the specific domain extension supports this feature. Clicking the padlock icon that you’ll notice next to any domain registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it once more will enable you to update that status. In case you’d like to transfer a domain to another registrar, you can initiate the procedure instantly. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation period or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you’ll just need to complete the exact same steps.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through us is really easy and can be done through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer 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 propagate momentarily, you will be able to continue with the domain transfer without the need to wait for the registrar lock status to change on WHOIS lookup websites. If you change your mind and decide not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it again will be just as simple and will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
