All generic TLD extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to hinder unwanted transfers of existing domain names. Lots of domain name registry organizations that manage country-code Top-Level Domains that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a registrant who has been granted access to the account with the current domain registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to impede any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of existing domains between domain registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

If you purchase a Linux cloud package from our company, you’ll be able to manage all domains registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just a few mouse clicks. All registrations will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a tiny padlock icon. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you want to transfer it away, you will just need to click once again and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the exact same place as the hosting account itself, you will not need to sign in and out of different admin dashboards.

Managing your domains with our company is truly easy and the registrar lock feature is not an exception.

For your convenience, the domain names will be displayed in alphabetical order and on the right-hand side you will see a padlock-like icon if the given domain supports the registrar lock feature. If you click the icon, you will see if the given domain name is locked or not and you’ll be able to update this status by clicking once more. The status will change immediately and you will be able to initiate the transfer without having to wait for the change to appear on WHOIS lookup websites or for our company to do anything on our end.
