All generic extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to hinder unwanted transfers of existing domain names. Many domain name registry organizations that manage country-code Top-Level Domains that do not support this option are in the process of introducing it for the sake of security and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has been given access to the account with the current domain registrar can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled on purpose, so as to stop any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the security measures for controlling the transfer of active domain names between domain registrars that have been adopted over the years.
Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting
If you purchase a Linux cloud website hosting package from our company, you’ll 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 clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a small padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you wish to transfer it, you’ll just have to click once more and you will be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the very same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to sign in and out of different admin interfaces.
Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Locking or unlocking any domain registered through our company is unbelievably easy and can be achieved through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You will see all your domain names in the Registered Domains section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock-like icon on their right. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect right away, you will be able to continue with the transfer procedure without needing to wait for the registrar lock status to be changed on WHOIS lookup sites. If you reconsider your decision and decide not to transfer the domain name away from our company, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not take more than a few clicks of the mouse in your Control Panel.
