Transferring an active domain involves switching the domain name registrar that handles the registration service, so after the transfer itself, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS record modifications through the new registrar company. The transfer procedure is standard with most universal and country-specific top-level domain name extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and entail different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain name entails a few basic procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a security feature, which is being adopted by more and more domain name registry operators. It’s a standard feature supported by all generic TLDs. If a domain is locked, it will be impossible to initiate a transfer process, 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 in the first place and all new domains that support this functionality are locked by default when they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

If you buy a Linux cloud hosting from our company, you’ll be able to administer all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with just a few mouse clicks. All registrations will be shown alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you’ll see a tiny padlock symbol. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain is locked and you would like to transfer it, you will just have to click once again and you will be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are administered in the exact same location as the web hosting account itself, you won’t have to sign in and out of different admin dashboards.
