All generic domain name extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to impede unapproved transfers of active domain names. Lots of domain name registry operators that supervise country-code TLDs that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has been given access to the account with the current registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature activated on purpose, so as to prevent any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domains between registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

Locking and unlocking a domain name registered through our company is unbelievably easy. This can be achieved through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our Linux cloud website hosting packages, and will take exactly two clicks of the mouse. All your domains will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Registered Domains section of the Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the domain lock option, you will notice a padlock-like logo. Click on it once and you will see the present status of the domain name. Click for the second time and you will change its status. The update will take effect momentarily without the need for you or for us to do anything else for the status to be ‘refreshed’ on WHOIS lookup websites, so you can proceed with the transfer procedure right away.
