All generic extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to block unsolicited transfers of existing domains. Many domain registry organizations that supervise country-code top-level domain names that do not support this feature are in the process of introducing it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock option activated deliberately, so as to stop any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Hosting

If you buy a hosting service from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only a couple of mouse clicks. All registrations will be listed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a mini padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you want to transfer it away, you will just need to click for the second time and you will be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the same location as the hosting account itself, you will not have to log in and out of different admin panels.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is unbelievably easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You will find all your domain names in the Registered Domains section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock option 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 instantly, you’ll be able to initiate the transfer without needing to wait for the registrar lock status to be updated on WHOIS sites. If you change your mind and choose not to transfer the domain name away from us, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not take more than several clicks of the mouse in your hosting Control Panel.
