Transferring an existing domain involves changing the company 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 is standard with most Top-Level Domain extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and involve different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain involves several necessary procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a safety option, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry organizations. It is a standard feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain is locked, it won’t be possible to initiate a transfer process, so nobody can even attempt to steal your domain name. The lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain name is registered and all new domains that support this functionality are locked by default when they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting

With a Linux cloud hosting from us, you will exercise complete authority over your domain names through our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you’d like, including locking and unlocking any of the domain names registered here, on the condition that the specific generic or country-code TLD extension supports this option. Clicking the padlock logo that you will notice next to any domain name registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking it once again will permit you to change that status. If you would like to transfer a domain to another registrar, you can initiate the process immediately. Since unlocking a domain through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation interval or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just need to complete the exact same steps.
