All generic domain name extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose purpose is to prevent unwanted transfers of active domain names. Many registry operators that manage country-code TLDs that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for better 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 registrant who has been granted access to the account with the current domain registrar can do that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled deliberately, so as to impede any unapproved transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the safety measures for regulating the transfer of active domain names between registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

If you get a Linux shared hosting package from our company, you will be able to manage 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 listed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll notice a small padlock icon. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you want to transfer it, you will just have to click for the second time and that’s it. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the exact same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to sign in and out of different admin interfaces.
