All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to prevent unwanted transfers of existing domains. Lots of registry organizations that supervise ccTLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a registrant who has access to the account with the current domain registrar can do that. New domains are registered with the lock feature activated intentionally, so as to impede any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domains between domain registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Web Hosting

With a web hosting from our company, you’ll exercise absolute command over your domain names through our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you’d like, including locking and unlocking any of the domain names registered through us, on the condition that the specific domain extension supports this option. Clicking the padlock symbol that you will notice next to any domain name registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it for the second time will enable you to update that status. If you want to transfer a domain to another registrar company, you can start the process right away. Since unlocking a domain name through your Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation time or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain is just as easy – you’ll just have to follow the very same steps.
