All generic TLD extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to block unapproved transfers of existing domains. Many registry organizations that manage country-code Top-Level Domains that do not support this feature are in the process of introducing it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only an individual who has access to the account with the current domain registrar can accomplish that. New domains are registered with the lock feature activated deliberately, so as to hinder any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock option 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 Website Hosting

Locking and unlocking a domain name registered through our company is extremely easy. This can be achieved through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our website hosting, and will take literally two clicks. All your domain names will be displayed alphabetically in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the domain lock option, you’ll notice a padlock-like sign. Click on it once and you’ll notice the domain’s present status. Click once more and you will alter its status. The change will propagate instantly without the need for you or for our company to do anything else for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup websites, so you can go ahead with the transfer process straight away.
