All generic domain name extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to prevent unsolicited transfers of active domains. Many domain name registry operators that oversee country-code top-level domain names that do not support this option are in the process of adopting it for better security and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has access to the account with the current domain registrar can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to impede any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domains between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

If you get a cloud website hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domains registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just a few clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be shown alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a small padlock symbol. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you would like to transfer it away, you’ll just need to click once again and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the very same location as the web hosting account itself, you will not have to log in and out of different platforms.
