Transferring an active domain involves changing the company that provides the domain name registration service, so after the transfer itself, you will have to manage things like renewal fees or DNS resource record updates through the new domain registrar. The transfer procedure is standard with most domain extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and entail different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain involves a few necessary procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a safety feature, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry operators. It is a default feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain is locked, it will be impossible to initiate a transfer procedure, so nobody can even attempt to steal your domain. The domain lock can be removed only through the account where the domain name is registered in the first place and all new domains that support this option are locked by default the moment they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

If you purchase a Linux cloud web hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just several mouse clicks. All registrations will be listed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll notice a small padlock logo. Clicking it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain is locked and you wish to transfer it, you’ll just need to click for the second time and that’s it. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the exact same place as the hosting account itself, you won’t need to sign in and out of different user interfaces.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is amazingly easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You will find all your domains in the Domain Manager section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock 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 continue with the domain name transfer procedure without waiting for the status to change on WHOIS sites. If you change your mind and opt 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 mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel.
