All generic TLD extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose purpose is to hinder unsanctioned transfers of existing domains. Lots of domain registry operators that manage country-code TLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of adopting it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has been given access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled on purpose, so as to prevent any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domains between domain registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

If you get a shared hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domains registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only a few clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be listed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a tiny padlock logo. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you want to transfer it, you will just need to click once again and that’s it. 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 will not need to log in and out of different admin consoles.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through our company is remarkably easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You will see all your domains in the Domain Manager 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 update will take effect instantaneously, you’ll be able to initiate the domain transfer without needing to wait for the lock status to be changed on WHOIS lookup sites. If you change your mind and choose not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it again will be just as simple and will not take more than several clicks in your Control Panel.
