All generic extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to block unwanted transfers of existing domain names. Many domain name registry operators that supervise ccTLDs that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a registrant who has access to the account with the current domain registrar can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock option enabled intentionally, so as to impede any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domains between domain registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

If you buy a shared hosting from our company, you will be able to manage all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just a few clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be shown alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll see a mini padlock icon. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you want to transfer it away, you will just need to click once again and you will be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the very same place as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to sign in and out of different admin consoles.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is exceptionally easy and can be done through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You will find all your domain names in the Domain Manager section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock-like icon on their right. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the change will propagate instantaneously, you’ll be able to start the transfer process without needing to wait for the status to be changed on WHOIS lookup websites. If you reconsider your decision and choose not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it once again will be just as easy and will not require more than a few mouse clicks in your Control Panel.
