Transferring an active domain involves switching the registrar that handles the domain name registration service, so after the transfer, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS record modifications through the new company. The transfer procedure itself is standard with most domain extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and involve different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain name involves several basic procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The lock is a safety feature, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry organizations. It is a standard feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain is locked, it will not be possible to initiate a transfer procedure, so nobody can even try to take your domain. The domain lock can be removed only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domain names that support this feature are locked by default the moment they are registered.
Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting
With a shared service from us, you will exercise total command over your domain names through our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you would like, including locking/unlocking any of the domains registered through our company, as long as the specific generic or country-code domain extension supports this feature. Clicking on the padlock logo that you will notice next to any domain name registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking on it once more will enable you to change that status. If you would like to transfer a domain name to another registrar company, you can initiate the procedure momentarily. Since unlocking a domain through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation interval or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain is just as easy – you’ll just need to complete the exact same steps.
Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Locking or unlocking any domain registered through our company is truly easy and can be achieved through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You will find all your domains in the Domain Manager section and the ones 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 right away, you’ll be able to proceed with the domain transfer procedure without the need to wait for the status to be changed on WHOIS websites. If you change your mind and choose not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it once again will be just as easy and will not require more than a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
