All generic extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose purpose is to impede unsolicited transfers of active domains. Lots of registry organizations that supervise ccTLDs that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for the sake of security and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only an individual who has access to the account with the current domain registrar can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature activated intentionally, so as to block any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the security measures for controlling the transfer of existing domains between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each and every cloud website hosting plan that we offer, will grant you full authority over your domains. You will see all domains registered through our company neatly displayed in alphabetical order in a separate section of the Control Panel. Those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a small padlock icon on their right. By clicking the icon, you can see if the particular domain name is locked or unlocked and you can update the current status by clicking once more – the procedure is as straightforward as that. You will not need to wait for the update to take effect or for our company to do anything, as the status change takes effect immediately, even if you notice something different on WHOIS lookup sites. After all, it takes time for such sites to update the information that they display.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through our company is really easy and can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You will 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 by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect momentarily, you’ll be able to go ahead with the domain transfer procedure without needing to wait for the registrar lock status to be updated on WHOIS sites. If you change your mind and opt not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
