Transferring an active domain name involves changing the registrar company that provides the domain name 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 top-level domain name extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and entail different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain name involves a few basic steps and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a safety option, which is being adopted by more and more domain name registry organizations. It is a standard feature supported by all generic TLDs. If a domain is locked, it will not be possible to initiate a transfer process, so no one can even try to steal your domain name. The 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 Web Hosting

With a Linux shared web hosting package from us, you’ll exercise complete command over your domain names through our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you would like, including locking and unlocking any of the domains registered here, provided that the specific generic or country-code domain name extension supports this option. Clicking on the padlock sign that you will see next to any domain registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking it for the second time will allow you to modify that status. If you want to transfer a domain to another domain name registrar, you can initiate the procedure instantly. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation time or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain is just as easy – you’ll just need to follow the very same steps.
