Transferring an active domain involves changing the domain registrar that provides the registration service, so after the transfer, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS modifications through the new registrar. The transfer process is standard with most gTLD and ccTLD extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and involve different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain involves several basic procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain. The lock is a safety feature, which is being embraced by more and more registry organizations. It’s a standard feature supported by all gTLDs. If a domain name is locked, it won’t be possible to start a transfer process, so nobody can even attempt to register your domain. The lock can be removed only through the account where the domain name is registered and all new domains that support this feature are locked by default the moment they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

With a Linux cloud hosting from our company, you’ll exercise total command over your domain names through our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you would like, including locking and unlocking any of the domain names registered here, as long as the particular domain extension supports this option. Clicking on the padlock sign that you’ll see next to any domain registered in your Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking on it once again will enable you to edit that status. If you’d like to transfer a domain to another domain registrar, you can start the procedure immediately. Since unlocking a domain through your Control Panel will take effect instantly, no propagation period or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just have to follow the exact same steps.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through our company is unbelievably easy and can be accomplished through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You will see all your domain names in the Registered Domains section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a padlock-like icon on their right. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the update will take effect momentarily, you’ll be able to continue with the transfer process without waiting for the registrar lock status to be updated on WHOIS lookup websites. If you reconsider your decision and opt not to transfer the domain away from our company, locking it again will be just as simple and will not take more than several clicks in your hosting Control Panel.
