All generic TLD extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to hinder unwanted transfers of active domain names. Lots of domain name registry operators that supervise ccTLDs that do not support this option are in the process of introducing it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a registrant who has access to the account with the current registrar can do that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled deliberately, so as to hinder any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock option is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of active domain names between domain registrars that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every cloud hosting package that we offer, will give you complete command over your domains. You will see all domain names registered through us neatly listed in alphabetical order in a separate Control Panel section. Those whose extensions support the domain lock option will have a tiny padlock icon on their right. By clicking on the icon, you can see if the particular domain name is locked or unlocked and you can alter the present status by clicking again – the process is as simple as that. You will not need to wait for the update to take effect or for our company to do anything, as the status change takes effect momentarily, even if you notice something different on WHOIS lookup sites. After all, it takes time for such sites to ‘refresh’ the details that they display.
