All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to stop unauthorized transfers of active domain names. Lots of registry operators that oversee country-code Top-Level Domains that don’t support this feature are in the process of adopting it for the sake of 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 registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature activated on purpose, so as to impede any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the security measures for controlling the transfer of existing domains between domain registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Web Hosting

If you order a shared web hosting plan from our company, you will be able to administer all domains registered through us using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just several mouse clicks. All registrations will be listed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a tiny padlock logo. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you wish to transfer it, you’ll just have to click once again and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t need to log in and out of different admin interfaces.
