All generic extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to prevent unapproved transfers of existing domain names. Lots of domain name registry operators that supervise country-code TLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a registrant who has been given access to the account with the current domain registrar can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock option activated on purpose, so as to prevent any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock option 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 Hosting

With a Linux cloud package from our company, you’ll exert complete control over your domains through our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you would like, including locking and unlocking any of the domains registered through our company, on the condition that the specific Top-Level Domain extension supports this option. Clicking on the padlock symbol that you’ll see next to any domain registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it once again will enable you to change that status. If you want to transfer a domain name to another domain name registrar, you can start the process momentarily. Since unlocking a domain through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect instantaneously, no propagation time or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just need to complete the very same steps.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through our company is really easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You’ll see all your domain names in the Domain Manager section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock-like icon on their right. You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the change will propagate straight away, you’ll be able to continue with the transfer without having to wait for the status to change on WHOIS lookup websites. If you change your mind and choose not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not require more than a couple of mouse clicks in your Control Panel.
