Transferring an active domain involves changing the registrar that handles the registration service, so after the transfer itself, you’ll have to manage things like renewal fees or DNS resource record modifications through the new domain registrar. The transfer process itself is standard with most top-level domain name extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and entail different steps, but in the general case transferring a domain name involves several basic steps and one of them is unlocking the domain. The domain lock is a safety feature, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry organizations. It’s a standard feature supported by all generic TLDs. If a domain is locked, it will be impossible to start a transfer procedure, so nobody can even attempt to steal your domain name. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domains that support this option are locked by default the moment they are registered.
Registrar Lock in Web Hosting
With a web hosting from our company, you will have total command over your domain names through our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. You’ll be able to do anything you’d like, including locking & unlocking any of the domain names registered through our company, provided that the specific generic or country-code TLD extension supports this option. Clicking on the padlock symbol that you’ll see next to any domain name registered in your Control Panel will show you its current status and clicking on it once again will permit you to update that status. In case you want to transfer a domain to another domain name registrar, you can start the procedure momentarily. Since unlocking a domain name through your Hepsia Control Panel will take effect instantly, no propagation period or any action on our end will be needed. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just need to follow the exact same steps.

If you change your mind and decide not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it once again will be just as easy and will not require more than a few clicks in your Control Panel.
