Transferring an already registered domain name entails switching the company that provides the domain name registration service, so after the transfer, you will have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS entry updates through the new registrar company. The transfer procedure itself is standard with most gTLD and ccTLD extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and entail different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain name entails several necessary procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain. The domain lock is a security option, which is being embraced by more and more domain name registry operators. It is a standard feature supported by all generic top-level domain names. If a domain is locked, it will be impossible to initiate a transfer process, so no one can even try to steal your domain name. The domain 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 when they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting

With a cloud website hosting plan from us, you will exercise full control over your domain names through our custom Hepsia Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you’d like, including locking/unlocking any of the domains registered through us, provided that the particular top-level domain name extension supports this feature. Clicking the padlock logo that you’ll notice next to any domain name registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it once more will permit you to modify that status. In case you’d like to transfer a domain name to another registrar company, you can initiate the procedure right away. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation time or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just need to go through the exact same steps.
