All generic top-level domain name extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to hinder unapproved transfers of active domain names. Many domain registry organizations that supervise country-code TLDs that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has been given access to the account with the current registrar company can do that. New domain names are registered with the lock option enabled deliberately, so as to stop any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock option is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between registrar companies that have been adopted 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 domain names registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with only several clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be shown alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a tiny padlock sign. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you would like to transfer it away, you will just need to click once again and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the exact same place as the hosting account itself, you won’t have to sign in and out of different interfaces.
