Transferring an already registered domain name involves changing the company that provides the registration service, so after the transfer, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS resource record updates through the new registrar company. The transfer procedure is standard with most universal and country-specific domain name extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and involve different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain involves several necessary procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain. The domain lock is a safety option, which is being adopted by more and more domain name registry organizations. It is a default feature supported by all generic TLDs. If a domain name is locked, it won’t be possible to start a transfer procedure, so nobody can even attempt to steal your domain. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain name 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 Website Hosting
If you get a shared website hosting plan from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domains registered through us using our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just several mouse clicks. All registrations will be listed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a tiny padlock symbol. Clicking it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain is locked and you would like to transfer it away, you’ll just need to click once more and you will be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the exact same location as the hosting account itself, you won’t need to sign in and out of different admin panels.
Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers
Locking or unlocking any domain registered through us is remarkably 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 domain names in the Registered Domains section and the ones 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 update will take effect instantaneously, you will be able to start the transfer without needing to wait for the lock status to be changed on WHOIS lookup websites. If you reconsider your decision and opt not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not take more than several clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia Control Panel.
