Transferring an active domain name involves changing the domain name registrar that provides the domain registration service, so after the transfer itself, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS updates through the new domain name registrar. The transfer process is standard with most generic and country-code top-level 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 basic procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain. The lock is a security feature, which is being embraced by more and more domain name registry operators. It’s a standard feature supported by all gTLDs. If a domain name is locked, it will be impossible to start a transfer process, so no one can even attempt to steal your domain. The lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain name is registered and all new domains that support this feature are locked by default the moment they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Hosting

With a hosting plan from us, you will have full control over your domain names through our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you would like, including locking/unlocking any of the domains registered through us, provided that the particular generic or country-code Top-Level Domain extension supports this option. Clicking on the padlock logo that you’ll notice next to any domain registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking it once more will permit you to change that status. In case you want to transfer a domain to another domain registrar, you can start the process immediately. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect momentarily, no propagation interval or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you’ll just need to go through the exact same steps.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through our company is unbelievably easy and can be achieved through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll find all your domain names in the Registered Domains section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock-like icon next to them. You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect right away, you’ll be able to continue with the domain name transfer procedure without needing to wait for the status to be changed on WHOIS websites. If you change your mind and opt not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not take more than a few mouse clicks in your Control Panel.
