All generic TLD extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose function is to block unapproved transfers of active domains. Lots of domain registry organizations that oversee country-code Top-Level Domains that do not support this option are in the process of adopting it for greater security and for the convenience of the domain owners. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a registrant who has been given access to the account with the current domain name registrar can achieve that. New domains are registered with the lock option enabled deliberately, so as to block any unsolicited transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of existing domains between registrar companies that have been adopted over the years.

Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers

Administering your domain names with our company is really easy and the registrar lock feature is not an exception. In case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to administer the domain names registered through our company using the exact same Control Panel via which you will manage your hosting account. For your convenience’s sake, the domain names will be displayed alphabetically and on the right you’ll see a padlock-like icon if the given domain name supports the registrar lock option. If you click the icon, you will see whether the given domain name is locked or not and you’ll be able to change this status by clicking again. The status will be changed immediately and you will be able to start the transfer process without the need to wait for the change to appear on WHOIS lookup websites or for our company to do anything on our end.
