All generic TLD extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to hinder unsolicited transfers of active domains. Lots of domain registry organizations that manage country-code TLDs that don’t support this feature are in the process of adopting it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a registrant who has access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock feature enabled deliberately, so as to hinder any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock option is among the security measures for controlling the transfer of existing domain names between registrar companies that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every cloud website hosting package that we offer, will grant you complete command over your domain names. You’ll find all domains registered through our company neatly displayed in alphabetical order in a separate Control Panel section. Those whose extensions support the domain lock option will have a small padlock icon next to them. By clicking the icon, you can see if the specific domain name is locked or unlocked and you can modify the present status by clicking again – the procedure is as straightforward as that. You won’t need to wait for the change to propagate or for our company to do anything, as the change of the status takes effect immediately, even if you notice something else on WHOIS lookup sites. After all, it takes time for such websites to update the info that they show.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is astonishingly easy and can be done through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You will find all your domains in the Registered Domains section and the ones 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 right away, you’ll be able to go ahead with the domain transfer process without having to wait for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites. If you change your mind and decide not to transfer the domain name away from our company, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not take more than a couple of clicks in your Control Panel.
