Transferring an existing domain name entails changing the company that handles the domain registration service, so after the transfer, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS entry updates through the new domain name registrar. The transfer procedure is standard with most universal and country-specific top-level domain name extensions. Some country-code extensions are more specific and entail different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain name entails several basic steps and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The domain lock is a security option, which is being embraced by more and more registry operators. It’s a default feature supported by all gTLDs. If a domain is locked, it won’t be possible to start a transfer procedure, so no one can even attempt to snatch your domain name. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain name is registered and all new domains that support this feature are locked by default when they are registered.
Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each and every cloud hosting plan that we offer, will give you absolute authority over your domain names. You’ll find all domain names registered through our company neatly displayed in alphabetical order in a separate section of the Control Panel. Those whose extensions support the domain lock option will have a tiny padlock icon on their right. By clicking on the icon, you can find out if the specific domain name is locked or unlocked and you can modify the current status by clicking once more – the process is as simple as that. You will not need to wait for the update to take effect or for our company to do anything, as the change of the status takes effect momentarily, even if you notice something else on WHOIS lookup sites. After all, it takes time for such websites to update the information that they display.
