All generic domain extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to impede unsolicited transfers of active domains. Many domain name registry organizations that manage country-code top-level domain names that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a registrant who has access to the account with the current registrar can accomplish that. New domains are registered with the lock feature activated on purpose, so as to hinder any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domains between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every hosting package that we offer, will give you full authority over your domains. You’ll find all domain names registered through us conveniently displayed in alphabetical order in a separate section of the Control Panel. 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 particular domain is locked or unlocked and you can alter the current status by clicking once more – the process is as straightforward as that. You won’t have to wait for the update to propagate or for our company to do anything, as the change of the status takes effect instantly, even if you see something different on WHOIS lookup websites. After all, it takes time for such websites to update the information that they show.
