All generic extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to hinder unsanctioned transfers of existing domain names. Many domain registry organizations that supervise ccTLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has been granted access to the account with the current domain registrar can accomplish that. New domains are registered with the lock option activated on purpose, so as to hinder any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between domain registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

If you purchase a shared plan from our company, you’ll be able to manage all domains registered through us using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only a few mouse clicks. All registrations will be listed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll notice a small padlock icon. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you would like 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 domain names are managed in the exact same place as the hosting account itself, you will not need to sign in and out of different Control Panels.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Administering your domain names with our company is truly easy and the registrar lock option is not an exception. If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to manage the domain names registered through our company using the exact same Control Panel via which you will administer your web hosting account. For your convenience’s sake, the domains will be listed alphabetically and on the right you’ll notice a padlock-like icon if the particular domain supports the registrar lock feature. If you click the icon, you’ll find out whether the given domain is locked or not and you’ll be able to modify this status by clicking again. The status will be changed instantly and you will be able to start the domain name transfer procedure without having to wait for the update to be displayed on WHOIS lookup sites or for our company to do anything on our end.
