All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to block unsolicited transfers of existing domains. Many registry organizations that supervise ccTLDs that do not support this feature are in the process of introducing it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has been given access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature activated intentionally, so as to impede any unwanted transfer attempts. The lock option is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

If you buy a Linux shared hosting from our company, you’ll 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 a few clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia 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 name is locked and you would like to transfer it away, 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 exact same place as the hosting account itself, you will not need to sign in and out of different platforms.
