All generic domain name extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to impede unapproved transfers of existing domains. Lots of domain registry organizations that manage ccTLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain name owners. 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 registrar company can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature activated intentionally, so as to hinder any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock option is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domains between domain registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every cloud web hosting plan that we offer, will grant you absolute command over your domains. You will see all domains registered through us neatly displayed in alphabetical order in a separate section of the Control Panel. Those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a mini padlock icon on their right. By clicking the icon, you can find out if the specific domain is locked or unlocked and you can modify the current status by clicking once again – the process is as simple as that. You will not need to wait for the change to propagate or for our company to do anything, as the status change takes effect momentarily, even if you notice something else on WHOIS lookup websites. After all, it takes time for such websites to update the information that they display.
