Transferring an active domain name entails changing the domain name registrar that provides the domain name registration service, so after the transfer, you will have to manage things like renewal fees or DNS entry updates through the new registrar company. The transfer process is standard with most generic and country-code top-level domain name extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and entail 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 embraced by more and more domain name registry operators. It is a default feature supported by all gTLDs. If a domain is locked, it won’t be possible to initiate a transfer process, so no one can even try to register your domain name. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domain names that support this functionality are locked by default when they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

With a Linux cloud web hosting plan from us, you will have absolute authority over your domains through our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you’d like, including locking/unlocking any of the domains registered here, provided that the particular gTLD or ccTLD extension supports this option. Clicking the padlock sign that you’ll notice next to any domain registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking on it once more will permit you to change that status. If you want to transfer a domain name to another domain name registrar, you can initiate the procedure instantaneously. Since unlocking a domain name through your Control Panel will take effect momentarily, no propagation interval or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just need to complete the very same steps.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is unbelievably 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 domains in the Domain Manager section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock option 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 instantaneously, you’ll be able to continue with the transfer process without needing to wait for the registrar lock status to change on WHOIS sites. If you change your mind and opt not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not require more than a few clicks of the mouse in your Control Panel.
