Transferring an already registered domain name entails switching the domain name registrar that handles the domain name registration service, so after the transfer, you will have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS entry modifications through the new registrar company. The transfer procedure itself is standard with most universal and country-specific domain name extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and entail different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain entails a few basic procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain. The domain lock is a safety option, which is being embraced by more and more domain name registry operators. It is a default feature supported by all generic top-level domain names. If a domain is locked, it will not be possible to start a transfer procedure, so no one can even attempt to steal your domain name. The 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 feature are locked by default the moment they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

If you buy a cloud web hosting plan from our company, you will be able to manage all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only a couple of mouse clicks. All registrations will be shown alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a small padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you wish to transfer it away, you will just need to click for the second time and that’s it. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the very same location as the hosting account itself, you won’t have to log in and out of different Control Panel tools.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through us is very easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll see all your domains in the Domain Manager section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock icon on their right. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect instantly, you will be able to start the transfer without the need to wait for the registrar lock status to be updated on WHOIS sites. If you change your mind and decide not to transfer the domain name away from us, locking it again will be just as easy and will not require more than a few clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
