All generic domain extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock feature whose function is to impede unsanctioned transfers of active domains. Many domain registry operators that oversee country-code Top-Level Domains 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 can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has been granted access to the account with the current registrar can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock option enabled intentionally, so as to stop any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the security measures for controlling the transfer of existing domain names between domain registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Web Hosting

If you purchase a shared web hosting from our company, you will be able to manage all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just several 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 see a tiny padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you wish to transfer it away, you will just need to click once again and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the exact same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t need to log in and out of different Control Panels.
