Transferring an already registered domain entails switching the company that handles the domain registration service, so after the transfer itself, you will have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS resource record modifications through the new domain registrar. The transfer process is standard with most universal and country-specific domain name extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and entail different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain involves a few basic steps and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a safety option, which is being embraced by more and more registry operators. It’s a standard feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain is locked, it will be impossible to initiate a transfer process, so no one can even attempt to steal your domain. The lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain name 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 Cloud Website Hosting

If you purchase a Linux cloud website hosting from our company, you’ll be able to manage all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with only a couple of mouse clicks. 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 icon. 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 once more and you will be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the very same location as the hosting account itself, you won’t have to sign in and out of different user interfaces.
