Transferring an existing domain involves changing the registrar company that handles the registration service, so after the transfer, you will have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS entry modifications through the new registrar company. The transfer procedure itself is standard with most universal and country-specific Top-Level Domain extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and involve different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain involves a few necessary procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain. The lock is a security feature, which is being embraced by more and more registry operators. It is a default feature supported by all gTLDs. If a domain name is locked, it will be impossible to initiate a transfer procedure, so nobody can even attempt to take your domain. The domain lock can be removed only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domains that support this feature are locked by default the moment they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Website Hosting

With a Linux website hosting from our company, you will exert full command over your domains through our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you would like, including locking/unlocking any of the domains registered through us, provided that the particular domain extension supports this feature. Clicking the padlock symbol that you’ll notice next to any domain name registered in your Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it once more will permit you to alter that status. In case you want to transfer a domain name to another domain registrar, you can initiate the process straight away. 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’ll just need to complete the very same steps.

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through our company is amazingly easy and can be done through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server.

You can unlock any domain by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect instantly, you will be able to go ahead with the transfer procedure without waiting for the registrar lock status to be updated on WHOIS lookup websites. If you reconsider your decision and decide not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it again will be just as simple and will not require more than several clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
