Transferring an existing domain entails switching the registrar company that handles the registration service, so after the transfer, you’ll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS entry modifications through the new company. The transfer procedure 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 entails several basic procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The lock is a safety option, which is being embraced by more and more domain name registry operators. It is a default feature supported by all gTLDs. If a domain is locked, it will not be possible to initiate a transfer procedure, so nobody can even attempt to register your domain name. The domain lock can be annulled only through the account where the domain is registered and all new domain names that support this functionality are locked by default when they are registered.
Registrar Lock in Cloud Website Hosting
With a Linux cloud website hosting from our company, you’ll have full command over your domain names 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, as long as the particular generic or country-code top-level domain name extension supports this feature. Clicking the padlock sign that you’ll find next to any domain registered in your Control Panel will show you its present status and clicking it once more will enable you to update that status. In case you’d like to transfer a domain name to another domain name registrar, you can start the process instantaneously. Since unlocking a domain through your Control Panel will take effect instantaneously, no propagation interval or any action on our end will be required. Locking a domain is just as easy – you will just need to go through the very same steps.
