All generic domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to stop unsanctioned transfers of existing domains. Many domain name registry operators that supervise ccTLDs that do not support this feature are in the process of adopting it for the sake of safety and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a person who has access to the account with the current registrar company can achieve that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled on purpose, so as to stop any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock option is among the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Website Hosting

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with each and every website hosting package that we offer, will grant you full command over your domains. You’ll see all domains registered through our company conveniently listed in alphabetical order in a separate Control Panel section. Those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a mini padlock icon next to them. By clicking the icon, you can see if the particular domain is locked or unlocked and you can modify the current status by clicking again – the procedure is as straightforward as that. You will not need to wait for the change to take effect or for our company to do anything, as the change of the status takes effect immediately, even if you notice something different on WHOIS lookup sites. After all, it takes time for such websites to update the information that they show.
