Transferring an existing domain name entails switching the domain registrar that handles the registration service, so after the transfer itself, you’ll have to manage things like renewal fees or DNS modifications through the new domain name registrar. The transfer procedure itself is standard with most top-level domain name extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and involve different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain name involves a few basic steps and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a safety feature, which is being adopted by more and more domain registry operators. It’s a standard feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain is locked, it will not be possible to initiate a transfer process, so nobody can even attempt to steal your domain name. 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 Website Hosting
With a Linux website hosting package from us, you’ll exert total command over your domains through our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will be able to do anything you’d like, including locking/unlocking any of the domain names registered through our company, as long as the specific generic or country-code top-level domain name extension supports this feature. Clicking on the padlock symbol that you’ll find next to any domain name registered in your Hepsia Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it for the second time will allow you to edit that status. In case you would like to transfer a domain name to another registrar, you can initiate the procedure without any delays. Since unlocking a domain through your Control Panel will take effect immediately, no propagation period or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain name is just as easy – you’ll just have to go through the exact same steps.
