All generic top-level domain name extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to block unapproved transfers of existing domain names. Many domain registry operators that supervise country-code Top-Level Domains that don’t support this option are in the process of adopting it for the sake of security and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has been given access to the account with the current registrar company can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock option enabled deliberately, so as to prevent any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of existing domain names between domain name registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Web Hosting

With a web hosting plan from our company, you’ll have complete command over your domains through our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you would like, including locking/unlocking any of the domain names registered through our company, provided that the particular top-level domain name extension supports this feature. Clicking the padlock icon that you will notice next to any domain registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking on it for the second time will enable you to change that status. If you’d like to transfer a domain to another registrar company, you can start the process right away. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation time or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you’ll just need to complete the exact same steps.
