Transferring an already registered domain name involves changing the 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 registrar company. The transfer procedure is standard with most generic and country-code domain name extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and involve different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain entails a few basic steps and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The lock is a safety option, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry organizations. It’s a default feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain name is locked, it won’t be possible to start a transfer process, so nobody can even try to steal your domain. The domain lock can be removed only through the account where the domain name is registered in the first place 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 hosting plan from our company, you’ll exert total authority over your domains through our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you’d like, including locking & unlocking any of the domains registered through our company, as long as the specific generic or country-code TLD extension supports this option. Clicking the padlock sign that you will notice next to any domain registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it once more will enable you to change that status. If you would like to transfer a domain to another registrar company, you can initiate the procedure instantly. Since unlocking a domain through your Control Panel will take effect momentarily, no propagation period or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just need to go through the exact same steps.
Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers
Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through our company is incredibly easy and can be done through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel – the one via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. You will see all your domains in the Domain Manager section and the ones whose extensions support the registrar lock feature 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 instantaneously, you’ll be able to continue with the domain transfer process without the need to wait for the registrar lock status to change on WHOIS lookup websites. If you reconsider your decision and decide not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not take more than a few clicks of the mouse in your Hepsia Control Panel.
