All generic domain name extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to stop unwanted transfers of active domain names. Lots of domain registry organizations that manage country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for the sake of safety and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has been granted access to the account with the current domain name registrar can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock option activated deliberately, so as to block any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the safety measures for controlling the transfer of existing domain names between registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

If you purchase a shared plan from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domains registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just a few clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be listed 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 present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you want to transfer it, you’ll just need to click for the second time and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the very same place as the web hosting account itself, you will not need to log in and out of different user interfaces.
