Transferring an existing domain name involves switching the registrar company that handles the domain name registration service, so after the transfer, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS entry modifications through the new company. The transfer procedure is standard with most generic and country-code TLD extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and involve different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain entails a few basic procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain. The domain lock is a security option, which is being embraced by more and more registry organizations. It is a standard feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain is locked, it will be impossible to initiate a transfer procedure, so no one can even attempt to steal your domain name. The lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domain names that support this option are locked by default the moment they are registered.
Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting
If you order a shared plan from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to unlock any of them with just a couple of clicks. All registrations will be listed alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll notice a mini padlock icon. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you want to transfer it, you’ll just need to click once more and that’s it. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the exact same place as the web hosting account itself, you will not have to sign in and out of different interfaces.
