All generic TLD extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to prevent unsolicited transfers of existing domain names. Many registry operators that oversee country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for the sake of safety and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain 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 name registrar can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature activated intentionally, so as to impede any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the security measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between domain registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Website Hosting

If you get a website hosting plan from our company, you’ll 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 just a few clicks. All registrations will be listed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a small padlock logo. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you wish to transfer it away, you’ll just have to click for the second time and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the very same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to log in and out of different interfaces.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through us is really easy and can be achieved through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll find all your domain names in the Domain Manager section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock icon next to them. You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect straight away, you will be able to initiate the transfer procedure without waiting for the lock status to be updated on WHOIS lookup websites. If you reconsider your decision and opt not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not require more than a couple of clicks of the mouse in your Control Panel.
