All generic extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to stop unapproved transfers of existing domains. Lots of domain registry organizations that supervise country-code TLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of adopting it for better security and for the convenience of the domain registrants. 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 domain name registrar can do that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to impede any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domain names between registrar companies that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Website Hosting

If you order a 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 just several clicks. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a mini padlock logo. Clicking it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you would like to transfer it, you will just need to click once again and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the same place as the web hosting account itself, you won’t need to log in and out of different admin panels.
