Transferring an existing domain name involves changing the domain name registrar that handles the domain name registration service, so after the transfer itself, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS modifications through the new domain registrar. The transfer procedure is standard with most generic and country-code TLD extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and involve different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain entails several basic procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a security feature, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry operators. It’s a default feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain is locked, it will not be possible to start a transfer process, so nobody can even try to register your domain. The domain lock can be removed only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domains that support this option are locked by default the moment they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

With a cloud plan from us, you’ll exercise complete control over your domain names through our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you would like, including locking & unlocking any of the domain names registered through our company, on the condition that the specific top-level domain name extension supports this option. Clicking the padlock icon that you will see next to any domain name registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it once more will enable you to update that status. If you want to transfer a domain to another registrar company, you can start the process straight away. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation period or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you will just need to complete the very same steps.
