All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to impede unwanted transfers of existing domain names. Many domain name registry organizations that oversee country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for better security and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a person who has access to the account with the current registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock option activated intentionally, so as to impede any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock option is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of existing domains between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Hosting

If you get a Linux hosting plan from our company, you will be able to manage all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with only a few clicks of the mouse. 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 will see a tiny padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain is locked and you want to transfer it, you’ll just need 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 same place as the hosting account itself, you won’t have to sign in and out of different admin dashboards.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is remarkably easy and can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll find all your domains in the Domain Manager section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock-like icon next to them. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the update will take effect instantaneously, you will be able to continue with the domain transfer procedure without needing to wait for the status to be updated on WHOIS sites. If you change your mind and decide not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it again will be just as simple and will not take more than several clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
