Transferring an already registered domain name entails switching the company that provides the domain registration service, so after the transfer, you will have to manage things like renewal fees or DNS record updates through the new domain registrar. The transfer process is standard with most generic and country-code Top-Level Domain extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and involve different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain entails a few basic procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a safety option, which is being adopted by more and more registry organizations. It is a standard feature supported by all gTLDs. If a domain name is locked, it won’t be possible to start a transfer procedure, so nobody can even attempt to register your domain. The domain lock can be removed only through the account where the domain name is registered in the first place and all new domain names that support this feature are locked by default the moment they are registered.
Registrar Lock in Shared Web Hosting
With a Linux shared web hosting package from our company, you’ll have absolute control over your domain names through our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you would like, including locking/unlocking any of the domains registered here, on the condition that the specific generic or country-code top-level domain name extension supports this option. Clicking on the padlock logo that you will find next to any domain registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking it for the second time will enable you to modify that status. If you’d like to transfer a domain name to another domain registrar, you can initiate the procedure instantly. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect instantaneously, no propagation interval or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain is just as easy – you’ll just have to go through the exact same steps.
