All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose purpose is to impede unapproved transfers of existing domains. Many domain name registry organizations that manage ccTLDs that don’t support this feature are in the process of adopting it for better security and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has been granted access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock option enabled intentionally, so as to impede any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

If you order a Linux cloud hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just several clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a mini padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you wish to transfer it away, you will just need to click once more and you will be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the very same location as the hosting account itself, you won’t need to log in and out of different admin interfaces.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you’ve registered a domain name through us and you want to transfer it away, you can quickly unlock it via the very same Hepsia Control Panel, which you use to manage your semi-dedicated server account. All registrations will be listed in alphabetical order in your account and you’ll notice a tiny padlock-like icon on the right side of each domain there, on the condition that its extension supports the registrar lock option. You can see if the domain name is locked or not by clicking on this icon and alter the current status by clicking on it once more. You can then continue and start the transfer procedure right away without the need to wait for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites, as the update will propagate instantaneously without you or us having to do anything else.
