Transferring an already registered domain name entails changing the domain registrar that handles the domain name registration service, so after the transfer itself, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS entry updates through the new company. The transfer process is standard with most generic and country-code domain extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and involve different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain name entails several basic steps and one of them is unlocking the domain. The domain lock is a security feature, which is being adopted by more and more registry operators. It is a default feature supported by all generic top-level domain names. If a domain is locked, it won’t be possible to start a transfer procedure, so no one can even try to snatch your domain name. The lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain name 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 Website Hosting
With a cloud website hosting plan from us, you will exert complete authority over your domains through our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you would like, including locking & unlocking any of the domains registered through us, on the condition that the specific top-level domain name extension supports this feature. Clicking on the padlock symbol that you will find next to any domain registered in your Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking it once again will permit you to alter that status. If you want to transfer a domain name to another registrar, you can initiate the process immediately. Since unlocking a domain name through your Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation period or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just have to follow the very same steps.
