All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to block unwanted transfers of existing domains. Many domain registry operators that supervise country-code Top-Level Domains that do not support this option are in the process of introducing it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has been given access to the account with the current registrar company can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled deliberately, so as to stop any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domains between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

If you purchase a Linux cloud website hosting from our company, you will be able to manage all domains registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with only several mouse clicks. All registrations will be shown alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a small padlock icon. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you want to transfer it, you will just need to click for the second time and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the very same place as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to log in and out of different tools.
