All generic Top-Level Domain extensions and certain country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to prevent unauthorized transfers of existing domains. Many registry operators that supervise country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this option are in the process of introducing it for greater safety and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has been given access to the account with the current registrar can accomplish that. New domains are registered with the lock option activated on purpose, so as to stop any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock option is among the security measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with each and every shared hosting plan that we offer, will grant you full authority over your domains. You’ll see all domain names registered through our company conveniently listed in alphabetical order in a separate section of the Control Panel. Those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a small padlock icon on their right. By clicking on the icon, you can find out if the given domain name is locked or unlocked and you can modify the present status by clicking once again – the process is as straightforward as that. You won’t need to wait for the change to propagate or for our company to do anything, as the status change takes effect immediately, even if you see something else on WHOIS lookup websites. After all, it takes time for such websites to update the details that they display.
