Transferring an existing domain entails switching the company that provides the registration service, so after the transfer, you will have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS record modifications through the new registrar company. The transfer process is standard with most Top-Level Domain extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and entail different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain involves several basic steps and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The lock is a safety feature, which is being adopted by more and more registry organizations. It’s a default feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain is locked, it will be impossible to initiate a transfer procedure, so nobody can even attempt to steal your domain. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain name is registered and all new domains that support this option are locked by default when they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

If you purchase a Linux cloud hosting from our company, you’ll be able to manage all domain names registered through us using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to unlock any of them with only several clicks. All registrations will be shown alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and for each one of them you will see a mini padlock symbol. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you’d like to transfer it, you’ll just have to click for the second time and you’ll be all set. Locking a domain is just as easy and since the domain names are managed in the same place as the web hosting account itself, you will not need to log in and out of different Control Panel tools.
