All generic extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to prevent unsolicited transfers of existing domains. Many domain registry organizations that manage country-code Top-Level Domains that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for the sake of 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 granted access to the account with the current registrar company can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock option activated on purpose, so as to prevent any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the security measures for regulating the transfer of existing domains between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

If you get a shared hosting from our company, you will be able to administer all domains registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just a couple of mouse clicks. All registrations will be listed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll notice a tiny padlock sign. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you’d like to transfer it, you’ll just have to click for the second time and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domains are managed in the exact same location as the web hosting account itself, you will not have to sign in and out of different systems.
