All generic domain name extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to prevent unauthorized transfers of existing domains. Many domain registry operators that oversee country-code TLDs that do not support this option are in the process of introducing it for better security and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has been granted access to the account with the current registrar company can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock option enabled intentionally, so as to stop any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domain names between domain name registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Website Hosting

If you purchase a shared website hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domains registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just a couple of clicks. All registrations will be shown alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a tiny padlock icon. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain is locked and you want to transfer it, you will just have to click once again and that’s it. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the very same location as the hosting account itself, you will not have to log in and out of different tools.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is extremely easy and can be achieved through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You will find all your domains in the Domain Manager section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock-like icon next to them. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the update will propagate immediately, you will be able to initiate the domain transfer procedure without the need to wait for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites. If you reconsider your decision and choose not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it again will be just as simple and will not take more than several mouse clicks in your hosting Control Panel.
