All generic domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to prevent unsanctioned transfers of existing domains. Lots of registry organizations that oversee country-code Top-Level Domains that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has access to the account with the current registrar company can accomplish that. New domain names are registered with the lock option enabled on purpose, so as to impede any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock feature 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 Shared Hosting

If you get a Linux shared hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with only several mouse clicks. All registrations will be shown alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a mini padlock sign. Clicking on it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you would like to transfer it, you’ll just need to click once again and you will be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the very same location as the web hosting account itself, you will not have to sign in and out of different tools.
