All generic top-level domain name extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to prevent unsolicited transfers of existing domains. Lots of domain registry operators that supervise country-code TLDs that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has been granted access to the account with the current registrar company can do that. New domains are registered with the lock option enabled on purpose, so as to impede any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domains between domain registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every hosting plan that we offer, will grant you full command over your domain names. You’ll find all domains registered through our company conveniently listed in alphabetical order in a separate Control Panel section. Those whose extensions support the domain lock option will have a mini padlock icon next to them. By clicking the icon, you can find out if the given domain name is locked or unlocked and you can update the present status by clicking once more – the procedure is as straightforward as that. You will not need to wait for the change to propagate or for our company to do anything, as the change of the status takes effect immediately, even if you see something else on WHOIS lookup websites. After all, it takes time for such sites to ‘refresh’ the details that they display.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Managing your domains with us is exceptionally easy and the registrar lock feature is not an exception. If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to manage the domains registered through our company using the exact same Control Panel via which you will manage your web hosting account. For your convenience’s sake, the domains will be displayed alphabetically and on the right you will notice a padlock icon in case the given domain supports the registrar lock option. If you click the icon, you’ll see if the particular domain name is locked or not and you’ll be able to change this status by clicking again. The status will change instantaneously and you will be able to start the domain transfer procedure without the need to wait for the change to appear on WHOIS lookup websites or for us to do anything on our end.
