All generic extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to impede unapproved transfers of active domain names. Many domain registry organizations that oversee country-code TLDs that do not support this feature are in the process of introducing it for the sake of safety and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has access to the account with the current domain registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock feature activated deliberately, so as to prevent any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the security measures for controlling the transfer of active domains between registrars that have been adopted over the years.
Registrar Lock in Hosting
With a Linux hosting plan from us, you’ll exercise total control over your domains through our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you would like, including locking & unlocking any of the domain names registered here, as long as the specific Top-Level Domain extension supports this feature. Clicking on the padlock icon that you will see next to any domain name registered in your Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking on it once again will enable you to modify that status. In case you wish to transfer a domain name to another domain name registrar, you can start the process instantly. Since unlocking a domain through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect instantly, no propagation period or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you’ll just need to go through the very same steps.
Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers
Locking or unlocking any domain registered through us is remarkably easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You’ll find all your domain names in the Registered Domains section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock icon on their right. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the update will propagate straight away, you will be able to start the domain transfer without waiting for the lock status to be changed on WHOIS sites. If you reconsider your decision and choose not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it again will be just as simple and will not require more than several mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
