All generic domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to prevent unauthorized transfers of active domains. Many domain registry organizations that oversee country-code TLDs that do not support this option are in the process of introducing it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a person who has been granted access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock feature enabled deliberately, so as to block any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the security measures for controlling the transfer of active domains between registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

If you buy a Linux cloud web hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just a couple of clicks. All registrations will be shown alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll see a mini padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain is locked and you would like to transfer it, you’ll just have to click for the second time and you will be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to log in and out of different Control Panel tools.
