All generic domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose purpose is to hinder unwanted transfers of active domains. Lots of registry organizations that supervise country-code top-level domain names that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain name 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 company can do that. New domain names are registered with the lock option activated deliberately, so as to block any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for controlling the transfer of existing domain names between domain name registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Website Hosting

If you purchase a website hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domains registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with only several mouse clicks. All registrations will be displayed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a small padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you’d like to transfer it, you will just have to click for the second time and you will be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the exact same place as the web hosting account itself, you won’t need to log in and out of different systems.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through our company is truly easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You will find all your domain names in the Registered Domains 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 immediately, you’ll be able to initiate the transfer procedure without needing to wait for the lock status to be changed on WHOIS lookup websites. If you change your mind and opt not to transfer the domain name away from our company, locking it again will be just as easy and will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks in your hosting Control Panel.
