All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to impede unapproved transfers of existing domain names. Many domain registry organizations that supervise country-code TLDs that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for greater 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 access to the account with the current registrar can accomplish that. New domains are registered with the lock feature activated deliberately, so as to stop any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domains between registrar companies that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

If you purchase a cloud web hosting plan from our company, you will be able to manage all domains registered through us using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only a couple of clicks. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll see a small padlock sign. Clicking on 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 again and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the exact same place as the hosting account itself, you won’t have to log in and out of different user interfaces.
