All generic extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to stop unauthorized transfers of existing domains. Lots of registry organizations that supervise country-code TLDs that do not support this feature are in the process of introducing it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a registrant who has been granted 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 stop any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the security measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

If you order a cloud website hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with only several clicks. All registrations will be displayed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a tiny padlock icon. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you want to transfer it, you’ll just have to click for the second time and you will be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the very same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to sign in and out of different admin dashboards.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you’ve registered a domain through our company and you would like to transfer it, you can easily unlock it through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, which you use to manage your semi-dedicated server account. All domain name registrations will be listed in alphabetical order in your account and you will see a small padlock icon on the right side of each domain name there, on the condition that its extension supports the registrar lock option. You can see whether the domain is locked or not by clicking on this icon and update the current status by clicking on it again. You can then proceed and initiate the domain transfer right away without having to wait for the status to change on WHOIS lookup websites, as the update will take effect instantaneously without you or us having to do anything else.
