Transferring an already registered domain name involves switching the registrar company that provides the domain name registration service, so after the transfer, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS modifications through the new company. The transfer process is standard with most domain extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and entail different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain name involves a few necessary steps and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a safety option, which is being adopted by more and more registry organizations. It is a standard feature supported by all generic top-level domain names. If a domain name is locked, it won’t be possible to start a transfer process, so nobody can even try to register your domain. The lock can be removed only through the account where the domain is registered in the first place and all new domain names that support this functionality are locked by default the moment they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Hosting

If you get a hosting plan from our company, you will be able to manage all domains registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just a few clicks of the mouse. All registrations will be listed in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will notice a small padlock logo. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you’d like to transfer it away, you’ll just need to click for the second time and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the very same place as the hosting account itself, you will not need to log in and out of different admin panels.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Locking or unlocking any domain registered through us is incredibly easy and can be done through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You will see all your domain names in the Domain Manager section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock-like icon next to them. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the change will propagate instantly, you’ll be able to initiate the domain name transfer process without having to wait for the registrar lock status to change on WHOIS websites. If you reconsider your decision and decide not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it once again will be just as easy and will not take more than a few clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
