All generic TLD extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to block unsanctioned transfers of active domains. Lots of domain registry operators that supervise country-code top-level domain names that do not support this option are in the process of introducing it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a registrant who has been given access to the account with the current domain registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled deliberately, so as to impede any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between registrars that have been adopted over the years.
Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting
If you order a cloud web hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just several mouse clicks. All registrations will be listed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll notice a mini padlock icon. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you would like to transfer it away, you will just have to click once again and you will be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the same location as the web hosting account itself, you will not have to sign in and out of different admin panels.
Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you’d like to transfer a domain name from our company to another registrar and you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to get the domain ready with only a few clicks of the mouse. All your domain names will be shown in a separate section of the Hepsia Control Panel – the same tool via which you’ll manage your hosting account. If a given gTLD or ccTLD supports the registrar lock option, you will notice a padlock icon. You can see if the domain name is locked or not by clicking on that icon once and you can alter the status by clicking once again. This is all it takes and there will be nothing else that you or our company will need to do, so you can start the domain transfer straight away. The change will propagate instantly, so you won’t have to wait for the status to change on WHOIS lookup websites.
