All generic domain name extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to stop unwanted transfers of existing domains. Lots of registry operators that manage country-code top-level domain names that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has been given access to the account with the current registrar can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled on purpose, so as to hinder any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of existing domain names between registrar companies that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Web Hosting

Locking and unlocking a domain registered through our company is remarkably easy. This can be achieved through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our web hosting, and will take exactly two clicks. All your domains will be shown in alphabetical order in the Registered Domains section of the Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the registrar lock option, you will notice a padlock-like logo. Click on it once and you will notice the present status of the domain. Click for the second time and you will alter its status. The change will propagate instantaneously without the need for you or for us to do anything else for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites, so you can initiate the transfer process straight away.
