Transferring an active domain name entails changing the registrar company that handles the registration service, so after the transfer itself, you’ll have to manage things like renewal fees or DNS modifications through the new registrar. The transfer procedure is standard with most universal and country-specific top-level domain name extensions. Some 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 lock is a safety feature, which is being embraced by more and more registry operators. It is a standard feature supported by all gTLDs. If a domain is locked, it will be impossible to start a transfer process, so nobody can even attempt to steal your domain. The domain lock can be removed only through the account where the domain is registered in the first place and all new domain names that support this feature are locked by default the moment they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

With a Linux cloud package from us, you’ll exert complete authority over your domains through our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you would like, including locking/unlocking any of the domain names registered through us, as long as the specific domain name extension supports this option. Clicking the padlock logo that you’ll notice next to any domain registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it once more will permit you to update that status. In case you would like to transfer a domain to another registrar company, you can start the process instantly. Since unlocking a domain through your Control Panel will take effect instantaneously, no propagation interval or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you will just have to go through the very same steps.
