All generic domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to prevent unauthorized transfers of existing domains. Many domain registry operators that oversee country-code Top-Level Domains that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for the sake of security and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a registrant who has been granted access to the account with the current registrar company can accomplish that. New domains are registered with the lock feature activated deliberately, so as to prevent any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of existing domains between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domains registered through us using our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just a couple of clicks. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a mini padlock icon. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you’d like to transfer it, you will just have to click for the second time and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the very same location as the web hosting account itself, you will not need to log in and out of different admin interfaces.
