Transferring an active domain involves changing the company that provides the domain name registration service, so after the transfer, you’ll have to manage things like renewal fees or DNS record modifications through the new registrar company. The transfer procedure itself is standard with most Top-Level Domain extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and involve different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain entails several basic steps and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a security option, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry operators. It is a default feature supported by all gTLDs. If a domain is locked, it will not be possible to initiate a transfer procedure, so no one can even try to snatch your domain. The lock can be removed only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domain names that support this option are locked by default the moment they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

With a cloud website hosting service from us, you will exercise total authority over your domain names through our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you’d like, including locking & unlocking any of the domains registered through us, as long as the specific generic or country-code top-level domain name extension supports this option. Clicking on the padlock icon that you will see next to any domain registered in your Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking on it once more will permit you to update that status. If you want to transfer a domain to another domain name registrar, you can initiate the process momentarily. Since unlocking a domain through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation period or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain is just as easy – you’ll just need to go through the very same steps.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is amazingly easy and can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll see all your domain names in the Registered Domains section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock-like icon next to them. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the update will take effect instantly, you’ll be able to initiate the domain transfer process without waiting for the registrar lock status to be changed on WHOIS lookup websites. If you reconsider your decision and opt not to transfer the domain name away from us, locking it again will be just as easy and will not require more than several clicks in your Control Panel.
