All generic extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to impede unwanted transfers of active domain names. Lots of registry operators that oversee country-code Top-Level Domains that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for the sake of safety and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only an individual who has been given access to the account with the current registrar can do that. New domains are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to impede any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domain names between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.
Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting
If you order a Linux shared hosting from our company, you’ll be able to manage all domains registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with only several clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a tiny padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you would like to transfer it away, you will just have to click once again and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the exact same location as the hosting account itself, you won’t need to log in and out of different admin dashboards.
Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers
Locking or unlocking any domain registered through our company is amazingly easy and can be achieved through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You’ll find all your domain names in the Domain Manager section and those 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 update will take effect right away, you will be able to continue with the domain transfer without needing to wait for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites. If you change your mind and choose not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not require more than a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel.
