Transferring an active domain name entails changing the domain name registrar that provides the domain name registration service, so after the transfer itself, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS resource record updates through the new company. The transfer procedure is standard with most domain name extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and involve different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain name entails several necessary steps and one of them is unlocking the domain. The domain lock is a security option, which is being adopted by more and more registry organizations. It is a default feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain is locked, it will be impossible to initiate a transfer procedure, so nobody can even try to snatch your domain name. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domain names that support this feature are locked by default when they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Web Hosting

If you buy a web hosting plan from our company, you’ll be able to manage all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just several clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be displayed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a tiny padlock symbol. Clicking it will show you the current security lock status. If the domain is locked and you’d like to transfer it, you will 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 same place as the web hosting account itself, you will not have to log in and out of different tools.
