All generic top-level domain name extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to prevent unsolicited transfers of active domain names. Lots of domain name registry organizations that supervise country-code Top-Level Domains that don’t support this option are in the process of adopting it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has been given 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 unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the security measures for controlling the transfer of existing domains between registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Hosting

If you purchase a Linux hosting package from our company, you will be able to manage all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only several clicks. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a mini padlock icon. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you want to transfer it, you will just have to click for the second time and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the exact same location as the web hosting account itself, you will not need to sign in and out of different systems.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you want to transfer a domain name from our company to another registrar company and you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to get the domain name ready with just several clicks of the mouse. All your domain names will be shown in a separate section of the Hepsia Control Panel – the same tool via which you will manage your hosting account. If a specific generic or country-code TLD supports the registrar lock feature, you will notice a padlock-like icon. You can see if the domain name is locked or not by clicking on that icon once and you can alter the status by clicking once again. That’s all it takes and there will be nothing else that you or our company will need to do, so you can initiate the domain transfer process right away. The change will take effect instantaneously, so you will not need to wait for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites.
