All generic domain name extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to prevent unapproved transfers of active domains. Lots of domain registry organizations that manage country-code top-level domain names that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a person who has access to the account with the current registrar company can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled on purpose, so as to block any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domains between registrar companies that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Website Hosting

If you buy a shared website 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 only several mouse clicks. All registrations will be displayed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a small padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you want to transfer it away, you’ll just need to click for the second time and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the same location as the web hosting account itself, you will not have to sign in and out of different Control Panel tools.
