Transferring an already registered domain name involves switching the registrar company that provides the domain name registration service, so after the transfer, you will have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS resource record modifications through the new company. The transfer process itself is standard with most domain extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and involve different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain involves several necessary procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain. The domain lock is a safety feature, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry organizations. It is a standard feature supported by all gTLDs. If a domain name is locked, it will be impossible to start a transfer procedure, so nobody can even attempt to snatch your domain. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain is registered in the first place and all new domain names that support this feature are locked by default when they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

With a cloud hosting plan from our company, you will exercise absolute control over your domains through our custom Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you’d like, including locking/unlocking any of the domains registered through us, on the condition that the particular top-level domain name extension supports this option. Clicking on the padlock symbol that you’ll see next to any domain registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking on it once again will enable you to modify that status. In case you would like to transfer a domain to another domain name registrar, you can start the process immediately. Since unlocking a domain through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation interval or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you will just need to go through the very same steps.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through our company is really easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You’ll see all your domains in the Registered Domains section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock-like icon on their right. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect instantly, you will be able to proceed with the domain name transfer without having to wait for the lock status to be changed on WHOIS websites. If you change your mind and opt not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it once again will be just as easy and will not take more than several clicks in your Control Panel.
