All generic top-level domain name extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to hinder unwanted transfers of existing domain names. Many domain registry organizations that oversee country-code TLDs that don’t support this feature are in the process of adopting it for the sake of security and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a person who has been given access to the account with the current domain registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to stop any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock option is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of existing domains between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Website Hosting

If you order a shared website hosting plan from our company, you will be able to manage all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only several clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll see a tiny padlock sign. Clicking it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain is locked and you wish to transfer it, you’ll just need to click once more and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the exact same place as the hosting account itself, you won’t have to sign in and out of different admin panels.
