Transferring an active domain involves switching the registrar that handles the domain registration service, so after the transfer itself, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS record modifications through the new company. The transfer process itself is standard with most generic and country-code Top-Level Domain extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and involve different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain involves several necessary procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain. The domain lock is a safety feature, which is being embraced by more and more domain name registry operators. It is a default feature supported by all generic top-level domain names. If a domain name is locked, it won’t be possible to initiate a transfer procedure, so nobody can even attempt to register your domain name. The lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domains that support this feature are locked by default the moment they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

With a cloud hosting from our company, you’ll exert total authority over your domain names through our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you would like, including locking/unlocking any of the domains registered through our company, provided that the particular Top-Level Domain extension supports this feature. Clicking on the padlock logo that you’ll see next to any domain registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it for the second time will allow you to alter that status. If you wish to transfer a domain name to another domain name registrar, you can initiate the procedure instantly. Since unlocking a domain name through your Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation period or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just need to complete the very same steps.
