All generic domain extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to stop unsolicited transfers of existing domains. Many domain name registry operators that supervise country-code TLDs that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for better safety 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 an individual who has been granted access to the account with the current domain registrar can accomplish that. New domains are registered with the lock option activated on purpose, so as to block any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the security measures for controlling the transfer of active domain names between registrar companies that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

If you purchase a Linux cloud hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domains registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just a couple of clicks. All registrations will be shown 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 icon. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you would like to transfer it, you will just have to click once more and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the very same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t need to sign in and out of different systems.
