All generic top-level domain name extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to stop unwanted transfers of active domain names. Many domain name registry organizations that supervise country-code TLDs that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a registrant who has been granted 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 stop any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the security measures for controlling the transfer of existing domains between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Web Hosting

If you order a Linux web hosting package 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 only a few clicks. All registrations will be displayed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a small padlock sign. 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 will just have to click once more and you will be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the exact same location as the hosting account itself, you won’t need to log in and out of different systems.
