All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to stop unsolicited transfers of existing domain names. Many registry organizations that supervise country-code Top-Level Domains that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for the sake of safety and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has been given access to the account with the current registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to block any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domains between domain name registrars that have been adopted over the years.
Registrar Lock in Website Hosting
With a Linux website hosting package from us, you will exercise absolute command over your domain names through our custom Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you’d like, including locking and unlocking any of the domain names registered here, provided that the specific top-level domain name extension supports this option. Clicking the padlock icon that you will notice next to any domain name registered in your Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking it once again will allow you to change that status. If you wish to transfer a domain to another registrar company, you can start the process without any delays. Since unlocking a domain through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation time or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you will just have to complete the exact same steps.
Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through our company is remarkably easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll see all your domains in the Registered Domains section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock feature 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 take effect momentarily, you will be able to initiate the domain transfer procedure without the need to wait for the status to change on WHOIS lookup sites. If you reconsider your decision and decide not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it again will be just as easy and will not take more than a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel.
