All generic top-level domain name extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose purpose is to prevent unauthorized transfers of existing domain names. Many registry operators that supervise country-code Top-Level Domains that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for better security and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has access to the account with the current registrar can accomplish that. New domains are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to impede any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the security measures for regulating the transfer of existing domains between domain name registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Hosting

If you get a hosting plan from our company, you will be able to administer all domains registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just a few clicks. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll notice a tiny padlock symbol. Clicking it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain is locked and you would like to transfer it away, you’ll just have to click for the second time and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the very same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to sign in and out of different tools.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is really easy and can be done through the Hepsia hosting 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 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 take effect instantaneously, you’ll be able to proceed with the transfer procedure without needing to wait for the registrar lock status to be changed on WHOIS websites. If you reconsider your decision and choose not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it again will be just as simple and will not take more than a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel.
