All generic domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to block unsolicited transfers of existing domains. Many domain name registry operators that manage country-code TLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for the sake of safety and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has access to the account with the current domain registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature activated deliberately, so as to stop any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domain names between registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

With a shared hosting from us, you’ll have total authority over your domains through our custom Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you’d like, including locking & unlocking any of the domain names registered here, provided that the specific generic or country-code Top-Level Domain extension supports this feature. Clicking the padlock sign that you will find next to any domain registered in your Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking on it once more will enable you to update that status. If you want to transfer a domain to another domain name registrar, you can start the procedure without any delays. Since unlocking a domain through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect instantaneously, no propagation time or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you’ll just have to go through the exact same steps.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through our company is incredibly easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You’ll see all your domains in the Registered Domains section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock icon on their right. You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect instantaneously, you will be able to initiate the domain transfer without having to wait for the status to change on WHOIS lookup websites. If you change your mind and choose not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it once again will be just as easy and will not require more than a couple of clicks of the mouse in your hosting Control Panel.
