All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to prevent unapproved transfers of active domain names. Lots of registry organizations that manage country-code top-level domain names that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has access to the account with the current domain registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock feature enabled deliberately, so as to block any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domains between registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Web Hosting

If you purchase a web hosting plan from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domains registered through us using our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only a couple of clicks. All registrations will be listed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll see a small padlock icon. Clicking it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain is locked and you’d like to transfer it, you will just have to click once again and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the very same place as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to log in and out of different admin panels.
