Transferring an active domain involves switching the domain registrar that provides the registration service, so after the transfer itself, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS entry updates through the new domain name registrar. The transfer procedure itself is standard with most domain extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and entail different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain involves several necessary steps and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The lock is a security option, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry operators. It’s a standard feature supported by all generic Top-Level Domains. If a domain name is locked, it won’t be possible to start a transfer process, so no one can even try to register 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 functionality are locked by default the moment they are registered.
Registrar Lock in Cloud Web Hosting
With a Linux cloud web hosting from our company, you’ll have total command over your domains through our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you’d like, including locking/unlocking any of the domains registered through us, provided that the specific generic or country-code TLD extension supports this option. Clicking on the padlock symbol that you will notice next to any domain registered in your Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking on it once again will permit you to edit that status. If you want to transfer a domain to another registrar company, you can start the process immediately. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect momentarily, no propagation time or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just have to follow the very same steps.
