All generic top-level domain name extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to block unapproved transfers of active domain names. Many domain registry organizations that manage country-code TLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of adopting it for better security and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only an individual who has been given access to the account with the current registrar can do that. New domain names are registered with the lock option activated on purpose, so as to block any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the security measures for controlling the transfer of active domain names between domain registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

If you buy a Linux shared hosting from our company, you’ll be able to manage all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with only several clicks of the mouse. 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 see a small padlock icon. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you want to transfer it away, you’ll just need to click for the second time and you will be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the same location as the hosting account itself, you will not need to sign in and out of different admin interfaces.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is really easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll find all your domain names in the Domain Manager section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock-like icon on their right. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect momentarily, you’ll be able to go ahead with the domain transfer procedure without waiting for the lock status to be updated on WHOIS lookup websites. If you change your mind and opt not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it again will be just as easy and will not take more than a few mouse clicks in your Control Panel.
