All generic extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to stop unsanctioned transfers of existing domains. Lots of domain registry organizations that manage country-code TLDs that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain 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 on purpose, so as to prevent any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domain names between registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

If you purchase a cloud hosting 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 just a few clicks. All registrations will be listed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll notice a mini padlock symbol. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you’d like to transfer it away, you’ll just have 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 location as the web hosting account itself, you will not need to sign in and out of different interfaces.
