All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to block unauthorized transfers of active domain names. Lots of registry operators that manage country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this feature are in the process of adopting it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a registrant who has been granted access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock option enabled intentionally, so as to prevent any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the safety measures for controlling the transfer of existing domain names between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Web Hosting

If you buy a web hosting from our company, you’ll 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 several clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be displayed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll notice a small padlock sign. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you wish to transfer it, you’ll just need to click once again and you will be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the very same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t need to sign in and out of different systems.
