All generic TLD extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to stop unwanted transfers of existing domain names. Lots of registry operators that manage ccTLDs 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 name registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has been given access to the account with the current domain name registrar can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to impede any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for controlling the transfer of existing domains between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

If you get a cloud website hosting plan from our company, you’ll be able to manage all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with only a couple of clicks. All registrations will be listed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a tiny padlock symbol. Clicking it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you would like to transfer it away, you’ll just need to click once again and you will be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the same place as the hosting account itself, you will not need to log in and out of different tools.

You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the update will propagate immediately, you’ll be able to continue with the domain transfer procedure without the need to wait for the registrar lock status to change on WHOIS lookup sites. If you reconsider your decision and choose not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it again will be just as easy and will not take more than a couple of clicks in your hosting Control Panel.
