Transferring an already registered domain entails switching the company that handles the domain registration service, so after the transfer itself, you will have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS entry updates through the new domain registrar. The transfer procedure is standard with most generic and country-code domain extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and involve different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain name involves several necessary procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a safety feature, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry organizations. It’s a standard feature supported by all generic top-level domain names. If a domain is locked, it won’t be possible to initiate a transfer procedure, so no one can even attempt to take your domain name. The domain lock can be removed only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domains that support this option are locked by default when they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each and every hosting plan that we offer, will grant you complete authority over your domains. You’ll find all domains registered through us conveniently displayed in alphabetical order in a separate section of the Control Panel. Those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a mini padlock icon on their right. By clicking on the icon, you can see if the particular domain name is locked or unlocked and you can alter the current status by clicking once again – the process is as straightforward as that. You will not have to wait for the change to propagate or for our company to do anything, as the status change takes effect immediately, even if you see something different on WHOIS lookup sites. After all, it takes time for such websites to update the details that they display.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Administering your domain names with our company is incredibly easy and the registrar lock feature is not an exception. If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to manage the domains registered through our company using the exact same Control Panel via which you’ll manage your hosting account. For the sake of convenience, the domains will be shown alphabetically and on the right-hand side you’ll see a padlock-like icon if the particular domain supports the registrar lock feature. If you click on the icon, you’ll find out if the particular domain is locked or not and you will be able to change this status by clicking again. The status will be changed right away and you’ll be able to initiate the domain name transfer procedure without the need to wait for the update to be displayed on WHOIS lookup sites or for our company to do anything on our end.
