Transferring an already registered domain involves changing the registrar company that provides the domain name registration service, so after the transfer, you will have to manage things like renewal fees or DNS updates through the new company. The transfer process itself is standard with most gTLD and ccTLD extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and involve different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain name involves several necessary procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a security feature, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry organizations. It’s a default feature supported by all generic top-level domain names. If a domain is locked, it won’t be possible to initiate a transfer procedure, so nobody can even try to register your domain name. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain name is registered and all new domains that support this feature are locked by default when they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

With a Linux cloud website hosting from us, you will exercise total control over your domain names through our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you’d like, including locking/unlocking any of the domains registered through our company, on the condition that the particular generic or country-code top-level domain name extension supports this option. Clicking on the padlock logo that you will see next to any domain name registered in your Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it once more will permit you to alter that status. In case you’d like to transfer a domain name to another registrar company, you can start the process immediately. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation interval 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.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is remarkably easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll find all your domain names in the Registered Domains section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock icon on their right. You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect straight away, you’ll be able to proceed with the domain transfer without waiting for the registrar lock status to be updated on WHOIS sites. If you change your mind and opt not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it again will be just as easy and will not take more than a couple of clicks of the mouse in your Control Panel.
