All generic top-level domain name extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to stop unwanted transfers of active domain names. Many domain name registry operators that oversee ccTLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for the sake of security and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a person who has been granted access to the account with the current registrar can do that. New domain names are registered with the lock option activated on purpose, so as to stop any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for regulating the transfer of active domain names between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.
Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every cloud web hosting package that we offer, will grant you full command over your domains. You’ll see all domains registered through our company neatly listed in alphabetical order in a separate section of the Control Panel. Those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a small padlock icon on their right. By clicking on the icon, you can find out if the specific domain name is locked or unlocked and you can change the present status by clicking once more – the process is as simple as that. You won’t have to wait for the change to take effect or for our company to do anything, as the change of the status takes effect instantly, even if you notice something different on WHOIS lookup websites. After all, it takes time for such sites to update the info that they show.
Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is really easy and can be achieved through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You will find all your domain names in the Domain Manager section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock-like icon next to them. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect right away, you will be able to continue with the domain transfer without needing to wait for the lock status to be updated on WHOIS lookup websites. If you change your mind and decide not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it once again will be just as easy and will not take more than several clicks of the mouse in your Control Panel.
