All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to block unsanctioned transfers of existing domains. Many registry organizations that oversee country-code TLDs that do not support this option are in the process of introducing it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. 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 company can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock option activated intentionally, so as to stop any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domains between registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

Locking and unlocking a domain registered through our company is very easy. This can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud web hosting, and will require exactly two clicks of the mouse. All your domain names will be displayed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the registrar lock option, you’ll notice a padlock-like sign. Click on it once and you’ll see the current status of the domain. Click once again and you’ll alter its status. The update will take effect immediately 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 continue with the transfer procedure right away.
