All generic top-level domain name extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to block unsolicited transfers of active domains. Many domain name registry organizations that supervise country-code TLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of adopting it for the sake of 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 a person who has been granted access to the account with the current domain name registrar can do that. New domains are registered with the lock option activated intentionally, so as to stop any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domains between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

Locking and unlocking a domain registered through our company is exceptionally easy. This can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud website hosting, and will take exactly two clicks. All your domains will be listed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the domain lock option, you will see a padlock-like sign. Click on it once and you will notice the domain name’s present status. Click again and you’ll change its status. The update will take effect instantaneously without the need for you or for our company to do anything else for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites, so you can go ahead with the transfer procedure right away.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Managing your domains with us is very easy and the registrar lock option makes no exception. If you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to administer the domain names registered through us using the very same Control Panel via which you will administer your web hosting account. For your convenience, the domain names will be displayed in alphabetical order and on the right you’ll see a padlock-like icon if the particular domain supports the registrar lock option. If you click the icon, you’ll find out whether the particular domain is locked or not and you will be able to update this status by clicking again. The status will be updated straight away and you will be able to initiate the domain transfer procedure without having to wait for the update to be shown on WHOIS lookup sites or for us to do anything on our end.
