Transferring an already registered domain involves changing the company that provides the domain name registration service, so after the transfer, you will have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS record updates through the new registrar. The transfer procedure itself is standard with most universal and country-specific TLD extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and entail different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain name entails several necessary steps and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The lock is a safety option, which is being embraced by more and more domain name registry operators. It’s a standard feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain is locked, it will be impossible to initiate a transfer procedure, so no one can even try to snatch your domain. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain name is registered and all new domain names that support this functionality are locked by default the moment they are registered.
Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting
With a cloud web hosting from us, you’ll exert full control over your domain names through our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you would like, including locking/unlocking any of the domain names registered through us, on the condition that the particular domain extension supports this option. Clicking on the padlock logo that you’ll find next to any domain name registered in your Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it for the second time will enable you to update that status. In case you’d like to transfer a domain name to another domain registrar, you can start the procedure without any delays. Since unlocking a domain through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect momentarily, no propagation time or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you’ll just need to go through the exact same steps.
