All generic domain name extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to hinder unapproved transfers of active domains. Lots of registry operators that manage country-code top-level domain names that do not support this option are in the process of adopting it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has been given access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock feature activated deliberately, so as to stop any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for regulating the transfer of active domain names between domain registrars that have been adopted over the years.
Registrar Lock in Hosting
If you get a hosting from our company, you will be able to manage all domains registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just several clicks. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll notice a small padlock logo. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you’d like to transfer it, you will just have to click once more and you will be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the very same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t need to log in and out of different Control Panels.
