All generic TLD extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose purpose is to stop unsolicited transfers of existing domains. Many domain name registry organizations that supervise country-code TLDs that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for the sake of security and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a registrant who has been given access to the account with the current domain name registrar can do that. New domains are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to stop any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.
Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting
Locking and unlocking a domain registered through us is incredibly easy. This can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our Linux cloud hosting, and will take exactly two clicks. All your domains will be listed alphabetically in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the registrar lock option, you’ll see a padlock-like symbol. Click on it once and you’ll see the present status of the domain name. Click once again and you’ll change its status. The update will take effect immediately without the need for you or for our company to do anything else for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites, so you can initiate the transfer process right away.
