Transferring an existing domain name involves changing the company that handles the registration service, so after the transfer, you will have to manage things like renewal fees or DNS record modifications through the new registrar company. The transfer procedure itself is standard with most universal and country-specific domain name extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and involve different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain involves a few necessary steps and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The lock is a security option, which is being adopted by more and more registry organizations. It is a default feature supported by all generic TLDs. If a domain is locked, it will not be possible to start a transfer procedure, so no one can even try to take your domain. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain is registered in the first place and all new domain names that support this feature are locked by default when they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

If you purchase a Linux cloud website hosting package from our company, you will be able to manage all domains registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only several clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be listed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a small padlock logo. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you want to transfer it, you’ll just have to click once more and you will be all set. Locking a domain 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 have to sign in and out of different admin panels.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through us is truly easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You will find all your domains in the Registered Domains section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock icon on their right. You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the update will propagate momentarily, you will be able to continue with the domain name transfer without needing to wait for the registrar lock status to be changed on WHOIS sites. If you reconsider your decision and opt not to transfer the domain name away from our company, locking it again will be just as simple and will not take more than a few clicks of the mouse in your Control Panel.
