All generic extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose purpose is to impede unauthorized transfers of active domain names. Lots of domain registry operators that oversee country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a person 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 activated intentionally, so as to block any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domain names between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

If you order a cloud web hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domains registered through us using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just several clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be displayed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll see a tiny padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you wish to transfer it away, you will just need to click once more and you will be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the very same location as the hosting account itself, you will not have to log in and out of different user interfaces.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have registered a domain name through our company and you want to transfer it, you can quickly unlock it through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, which you use to administer your semi-dedicated server account. All domain name registrations will be displayed alphabetically in your account and you will notice a mini padlock icon on the right side of each domain name there, provided that its generic or country-code extension supports the registrar lock feature. You can find out if the domain name is locked or not by clicking on this icon and update the current status by clicking on it again. You can then go ahead and initiate the domain transfer straight away without waiting for the status to be changed on WHOIS lookup websites, as the change will propagate instantly without you or us having to do anything else.
