Transferring an existing domain entails changing the registrar that provides the domain name registration service, so after the transfer, you will have to manage things like renewal fees or DNS modifications through the new company. The transfer process is standard with most universal and country-specific top-level domain name extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and involve different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain entails a few necessary procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain. The domain lock is a security option, which is being adopted by more and more domain registry organizations. It is a default feature supported by all generic TLDs. If a domain name is locked, it will not be possible to start a transfer procedure, so no one can even attempt to register your domain. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domain names that support this feature are locked by default when they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

With a Linux cloud web hosting from us, you will have absolute authority over your domains through our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you’d like, including locking & unlocking any of the domain names registered through our company, provided that the particular top-level domain name extension supports this feature. Clicking on the padlock logo that you will notice 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 update that status. If you want to transfer a domain name to another registrar, you can initiate the procedure right away. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation interval or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just need to go through the very same steps.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have registered a domain through our company and you would like to transfer it, you can easily unlock it via the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, which you use to manage your semi-dedicated server account. All registrations will be shown alphabetically in your account and you will notice a tiny padlock icon on the right side of each domain name there, provided that its generic or country-code extension supports the registrar lock option. You can see if the domain name is locked or not by clicking on this icon and change the current status by clicking on it once again. You can then continue and initiate the transfer process right away without the need to wait for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup websites, as the change will take effect momentarily without you or us having to do anything else.
