All generic extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose purpose is to block unapproved transfers of existing domain names. Many domain registry organizations that supervise ccTLDs that don’t 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 registrant who has been given access to the account with the current registrar company can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock option enabled deliberately, so as to impede any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domains between registrar companies that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Website Hosting

If you purchase a Linux website hosting package from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just several clicks. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a tiny padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you’d like to transfer it away, you’ll just need to click once again and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the same place as the hosting account itself, you won’t need to log in and out of different Control Panel tools.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is unbelievably easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll see all your domains in the Registered Domains section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock icon next to them. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the update will propagate immediately, you’ll be able to start the domain name transfer without waiting for the status to be changed on WHOIS sites. If you reconsider your decision and decide not to transfer the domain name away from our company, locking it again will be just as simple and will not require more than a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel.
