Transferring an existing domain name entails changing the domain registrar that handles the domain name registration service, so after the transfer itself, you will have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS modifications through the new registrar. The transfer process is standard with most domain name extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and entail different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain name involves a few necessary procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain. The domain lock is a safety option, which is being embraced by more and more registry operators. It’s a default feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain is locked, it will not be possible to initiate a transfer procedure, so nobody can even try to snatch your domain. The domain lock can be removed only through the account where the domain name is registered and all new domains that support this functionality are locked by default the moment they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

If you order a Linux cloud hosting package from our company, you will be able to manage all domains registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only several mouse clicks. All registrations will be listed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a small padlock logo. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you’d like to transfer it away, you will just have to click for the second time and you will be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the very same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to log in and out of different admin dashboards.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is remarkably easy and can be achieved through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You’ll see all your domain names in the Registered Domains section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock-like icon on their right. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect momentarily, you’ll be able to start the transfer process without the need to wait for the registrar lock status to be changed on WHOIS websites. If you reconsider your decision and opt not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it once again will be just as easy and will not require more than several clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel.
