All generic domain name extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to impede unsanctioned transfers of existing domain names. Many domain registry organizations that supervise ccTLDs that do not support this option are in the process of introducing it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only an individual who has been granted access to the account with the current domain registrar can do that. New domains are registered with the lock feature enabled on purpose, so as to hinder any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting plan 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 only a couple of clicks. All registrations will be shown alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a tiny padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you want to transfer it away, you will just need to click for the second time and you will be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the same place as the web hosting account itself, you won’t need to sign in and out of different admin consoles.
