All generic domain extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to stop unauthorized transfers of active domain names. Many registry organizations that supervise ccTLDs that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for better 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 a registrant who has been given access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature activated intentionally, so as to hinder any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domains between registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

If you order a cloud website hosting plan from our company, you’ll be able to manage all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just a couple of clicks. All registrations will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a mini padlock sign. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you would like to transfer it away, you will just need to click once more and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the exact same place as the hosting account itself, you will not have to log in and out of different platforms.
