All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to stop unsolicited transfers of existing domains. Lots of domain name registry operators that oversee country-code top-level domain names that do not support this feature are in the process of introducing it for better security and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain name 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 accomplish that. New domains are registered with the lock feature enabled deliberately, so as to hinder any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domains between domain registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every cloud hosting package that we offer, will grant you complete control over your domain names. You’ll see all domains registered through our company neatly displayed in alphabetical order in a separate Control Panel section. Those whose extensions support the domain lock option will have a tiny padlock icon next to them. By clicking on the icon, you can find out if the given domain name is locked or unlocked and you can modify the current status by clicking once more – the procedure is as straightforward as that. You will not have to wait for the change to propagate or for our company to do anything, as the change of the status takes effect immediately, even if you see something else on WHOIS lookup sites. After all, it takes time for such websites to update the details that they display.
