All generic domain extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to block unwanted transfers of active domain names. Lots of domain registry organizations that manage country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this feature are in the process of introducing it for better security and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only an individual who has access to the account with the current domain name registrar can do that. New domains are registered with the lock option activated intentionally, so as to block any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the safety measures for regulating the transfer of existing domain names between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every shared hosting plan that we offer, will grant you full control over your domains. You’ll see all domains registered through our company neatly listed in alphabetical order in a separate Control Panel section. Those whose extensions support the domain lock option will have a mini padlock icon next to them. By clicking the icon, you can find out if the given domain name is locked or unlocked and you can modify the present status by clicking once again – the procedure is as straightforward as that. You will not need to wait for the change to take effect or for our company to do anything, as the status change takes effect instantly, even if you notice something else on WHOIS lookup sites. After all, it takes time for such sites to update the details that they display.
