Transferring an active domain name entails switching the domain registrar that provides the domain registration service, so after the transfer, you will have to manage things like renewal fees or DNS resource record updates through the new domain name registrar. The transfer procedure is standard with most universal and country-specific TLD extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and involve different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain involves a few basic procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain. The lock is a safety option, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry operators. It is a default feature supported by all gTLDs. If a domain is locked, it will not be possible to initiate a transfer process, so nobody can even attempt to snatch your domain. The domain lock can be removed only through the account where the domain is registered in the first place and all new domains that support this option are locked by default the moment they are registered.

Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every cloud web hosting plan that we offer, will grant you total control over your domains. You will see all domain names registered through us conveniently displayed in alphabetical order in a separate section of the Control Panel. Those whose extensions support the domain lock option will have a tiny padlock icon next to them. By clicking on the icon, you can see if the particular domain is locked or unlocked and you can alter the present status by clicking once more – the process is as straightforward as that. You won’t have to wait for the change to take effect or for our company to do anything, as the change of the status takes effect instantly, even if you notice something different on WHOIS lookup websites. After all, it takes time for such sites to update the details that they display.
