Registrar Lock
Interested to find out what Registrar Lock is and how you could use it so as to protect against not authorized modifications to your domain?
Transferring an active domain name involves changing the registrar that handles the registration service, so after the transfer itself, you will have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS record modifications through the new registrar company. The transfer procedure itself is standard with most universal and country-specific top-level domain name extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and involve different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain entails a few necessary steps and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The lock is a security feature, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry organizations. It is a standard feature supported by all gTLDs. If a domain is locked, it will not be possible to initiate a transfer procedure, so no one can even try to snatch your domain name. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain name is registered in the first place and all new domain names that support this functionality are locked by default the moment they are registered.
Registrar Lock in Shared Hosting
Locking and unlocking a domain name registered through our company is incredibly easy. This can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with our Linux shared packages, and will take literally two clicks of the mouse. All your domains will be shown alphabetically in the Domain Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the domain lock option, you’ll notice a padlock-like symbol. Click on it once and you will see the domain’s current status. Click again and you will change its status. The change will propagate momentarily without the need for you or for us to do anything else for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites, so you can initiate the transfer process right away.
