Registrar Lock

Discover more about Registrar Lock and see how you can use it to avoid unauthorized domain transfers.

All generic extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock feature whose purpose is to block unsolicited transfers of existing domains. Many domain name registry operators that supervise country-code TLDs that do not support this option are in the process of adopting it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a person who has access to the account with the current registrar can do that. New domains are registered with the lock option enabled intentionally, so as to block any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock feature 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 Shared Web Hosting

With a shared web hosting from our company, you’ll exercise complete control over your domains through our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you would like, including locking/unlocking any of the domains registered here, provided that the specific generic or country-code domain name extension supports this feature. Clicking the padlock logo that you’ll see next to any domain name registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking on it once more will permit you to update that status. If you wish to transfer a domain to another domain name registrar, you can initiate the process immediately. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation interval or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just need to go through the very same steps.
