All generic domain extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to hinder unsanctioned transfers of existing domain names. Many domain registry operators that oversee ccTLDs that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only an individual who has access to the account with the current registrar company can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock option enabled intentionally, so as to hinder any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the safety measures for regulating the transfer of active domains between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each and every cloud web hosting plan that we offer, will give you full command over your domains. You will find all domains registered through our company conveniently displayed in alphabetical order in a separate Control Panel section. Those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a small padlock icon next to them. 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 process is as straightforward as that. You will not need to wait for the change to take effect or for our company to do anything, as the change of the status takes effect momentarily, even if you notice something else on WHOIS lookup websites. After all, it takes time for such sites to update the information that they show.
