Transferring an existing domain involves switching the domain registrar that provides the domain name registration service, so after the transfer itself, you will have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS resource record updates through the new company. The transfer procedure is standard with most TLD extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and entail different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain entails several basic procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain. The domain lock is a security option, which is being adopted by more and more domain registry organizations. It’s a standard feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain name is locked, it won’t be possible to start a transfer procedure, so no one can even attempt to steal your domain name. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domains that support this option are locked by default when they are registered.
Registrar Lock in Shared Website Hosting
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every shared website hosting package that we offer, will give you absolute command over your domains. You’ll find all domains registered through us conveniently displayed in alphabetical order in a separate section of the Control Panel. Those whose extensions support the registrar lock option will have a small padlock icon on their right. By clicking the icon, you can see if the given domain is locked or unlocked and you can alter the present status by clicking once again – the process is as straightforward as that. You won’t need to wait for the update to propagate or for our company to do anything, as the change of the status takes effect instantaneously, even if you see something different on WHOIS lookup sites. After all, it takes time for such websites to update the information that they show.
