All generic extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to stop unapproved transfers of existing domains. Lots of registry organizations that supervise country-code TLDs that do not support this option are in the process of introducing it for the sake of security and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only an individual who has access to the account with the current registrar company can do that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature activated intentionally, so as to hinder any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domains between domain name registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Web Hosting

Locking and unlocking a domain name registered through our company is incredibly easy. This can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our Linux web hosting services, and will take literally two mouse clicks. All your domain names will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the registrar lock option, you’ll notice a padlock-like icon. Click on it once and you will notice the domain name’s present status. Click once again and you will alter its status. The update will propagate instantaneously without the need for you or for our company to do anything else for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup websites, so you can continue with the transfer procedure right away.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Administering your domain names with our company is very easy and the registrar lock option makes no exception. If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to manage the domains registered through us using the very same Control Panel via which you will manage your hosting account. For your convenience, the domain names will be displayed in alphabetical order and on the right-hand side you will see a padlock icon in case the particular domain name supports the registrar lock feature. If you click on the icon, you will find out whether the specific domain name is locked or not and you will be able to alter this status by clicking once more. The status will be changed immediately and you will be able to start the domain name transfer process without the need to wait for the change to be displayed on WHOIS lookup websites or for us to do anything on our end.
