All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to impede unsolicited transfers of existing domains. Many domain name registry organizations that manage ccTLDs that do not support this feature 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 if it is unlocked and only a person who has been given access to the account with the current registrar can accomplish that. New domains are registered with the lock feature enabled deliberately, so as to stop any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock option is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

If you purchase a shared hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domains registered through us using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just several clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be displayed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a mini padlock symbol. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you want to transfer it away, you will just have to click for the second time and you will be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the very same place as the hosting account itself, you won’t have to log in and out of different Control Panels.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you would like to transfer a domain from our company to another domain name registrar and you have a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to get the domain name ready with only a few mouse clicks. All your domain names will be shown in a separate section of the Hepsia Control Panel – the very same tool via which you’ll manage your web hosting account. If a given generic or country-code TLD supports the registrar lock option, you’ll see a padlock icon. You can see if the domain is locked or not by clicking on that icon once and you can change the status by clicking once more. That’s all it takes and there will be nothing else that you or we will need to do, so you can go ahead with the domain name transfer procedure straight away. The update will propagate immediately, so you will not have to wait for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup websites.
