Transferring an already registered domain involves switching the registrar that handles the domain name registration service, so after the transfer, you will have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS resource record modifications through the new company. The transfer procedure is standard with most generic and country-code domain extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and involve different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain involves a few basic steps and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The lock is a security option, which is being adopted by more and more registry organizations. It’s a default feature supported by all gTLDs. If a domain is locked, it won’t be possible to initiate a transfer process, so no one can even try to take your domain name. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain is registered in the first place and all new domain names that support this functionality are locked by default the moment they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

If you get a Linux shared hosting from our company, you will be able to manage all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with only several clicks. All registrations will be listed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll see a tiny padlock logo. Clicking it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you’d like to transfer it, you’ll just need to click once more and that’s it. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the very same place as the hosting account itself, you will not have to sign in and out of different admin panels.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is unbelievably easy and can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You will find all your domains in the Domain Manager section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock icon next to them. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect straight away, you’ll be able to go ahead with the domain transfer procedure without having to wait for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup websites. If you reconsider your decision and decide not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it once again will be just as easy and will not require more than a few clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia Control Panel.
