Registrar Lock

Interested to discover what Registrar Lock is and how you can use it so as to stop unauthorized changes to your domain?

All generic domain name extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to prevent unapproved transfers of existing domains. Lots of domain name registry operators that oversee country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this feature are in the process of adopting it for the sake of security and for the convenience of the domain registrants. A domain name can be transferred only if it is unlocked and only a registrant who has access to the account with the current domain registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock feature enabled intentionally, so as to prevent any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock option is among the security measures for controlling the transfer of active domains between registrar companies that have been introduced over the years.

Clicking the padlock symbol that you’ll find next to any domain name registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking on it once more will enable you to change that status. In case you would like to transfer a domain to another registrar, you can start the process instantaneously. Since unlocking a domain through your Control Panel will take effect instantly, no propagation interval or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain is just as easy – you’ll just have to follow the very same steps.
