All generic TLD extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to block unsolicited transfers of active domain names. Lots of domain registry organizations that supervise country-code TLDs that do not support this option are in the process of introducing it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a registrant who has been given access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock feature activated intentionally, so as to stop any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for regulating the transfer of active domain names between registrars that have been introduced over the years.
Registrar Lock in Website Hosting
If you get a website hosting plan from our company, you will be able to administer all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just a few mouse clicks. All registrations will be listed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a small padlock icon. Clicking it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain is locked and you would like to transfer it away, you will just have to click once more and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the exact same location as the hosting account itself, you won’t have to sign in and out of different Control Panels.
Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers
Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is amazingly easy and can be achieved through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You will see all your domain names in the Domain Manager section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock-like icon next to them. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the change will propagate instantaneously, you’ll be able to initiate the domain transfer process without needing to wait for the lock status to change on WHOIS sites. If you reconsider your decision and decide not to transfer the domain name away from us, locking it again will be just as simple and will not require more than several mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel.
