All generic domain name extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to hinder unauthorized transfers of active domains. Lots of registry operators that supervise country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has been granted access to the account with the current domain registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock option activated on purpose, so as to stop any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between domain registrars that have been introduced over the years.
Registrar Lock in Web Hosting
If you purchase a web hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domains registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just a couple of clicks. All registrations will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll notice a small padlock symbol. Clicking it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you wish to transfer it, you’ll just need to click once again and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the same place as the hosting account itself, you will not have to sign in and out of different platforms.
