All generic top-level domain name extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to stop unwanted transfers of active domains. Lots of registry organizations that oversee country-code TLDs that don’t 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 if it is unlocked and only an individual who has been given access to the account with the current domain registrar can do that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled on purpose, so as to stop any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domain names between domain registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with each and every cloud website hosting package that we offer, will grant you full command over your domains. You’ll find all domains registered through our company conveniently displayed in alphabetical order in a separate section of the Control Panel. Those whose extensions support the domain lock option will have a tiny padlock icon on their right. By clicking on the icon, you can find out if the specific domain name is locked or unlocked and you can update the current status by clicking once again – the procedure is as simple as that. You won’t have to wait for the update to take effect or for our company to do anything, as the status change takes effect momentarily, even if you notice something else on WHOIS lookup websites. After all, it takes time for such websites to update the info that they display.
