Transferring an already registered domain involves changing the domain registrar that handles the domain name registration service, so after the transfer itself, you’ll have to manage things like renewal fees or DNS record updates through the new company. The transfer procedure is standard with most universal and country-specific domain name extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and entail different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain name entails several basic procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a security feature, which is being adopted by more and more domain registry organizations. It’s a default feature supported by all generic top-level domain names. If a domain is locked, it will be impossible to start a transfer process, so no one can even attempt to take your domain. The lock can be removed only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domain names that support this feature are locked by default when they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

With a shared service from our company, you’ll exercise complete authority over your domain names through our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you would like, including locking and unlocking any of the domain names registered through our company, on the condition that the particular generic or country-code TLD extension supports this feature. Clicking the padlock symbol that you will see next to any domain name registered in your Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking on it for the second time will allow you to modify that status. In case you wish to transfer a domain name to another registrar, you can start the process momentarily. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect momentarily, no propagation period or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain is just as easy – you’ll just need to complete the very same steps.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through us is astonishingly easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You will find all your domain names in the Domain Manager section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock icon next to them. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the change will propagate straight away, you will be able to continue with the domain name transfer procedure without having to wait for the status to be updated on WHOIS websites. If you change your mind and decide not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it again will be just as easy and will not require more than several mouse clicks in your hosting Control Panel.
