Transferring an already registered domain name entails changing the registrar that provides the registration service, so after the transfer itself, you will have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS resource record modifications through the new domain name registrar. The transfer procedure is standard with most universal and country-specific domain name extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and involve different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain name involves several necessary steps and one of them is unlocking the domain. The lock is a security option, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry operators. It’s a default feature supported by all generic top-level domain names. If a domain name is locked, it will not be possible to initiate a transfer procedure, so nobody can even attempt to register your domain name. The lock can be removed only through the account where the domain is registered 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 will have absolute authority over your domains through our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you would like, including locking/unlocking any of the domain names registered through our company, provided that the particular Top-Level Domain extension supports this feature. Clicking the padlock sign that you’ll notice next to any domain registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking on it once more will permit you to modify that status. If you want to transfer a domain name to another domain name registrar, you can initiate the procedure without any delays. Since unlocking a domain through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation period or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you will just have to follow the exact same steps.
