In case you wish to transfer a domain from one registrar company to another, you will need a special transfer authorization code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, etc. All these names refer to the same thing – a code that the domain name owner gets from the present domain registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without a valid code, a transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the security measures against unsolicited transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For greater security, the code comprises of digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you’d like to transfer one of your domains, you have to supply the new domain registrar with the right code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Hosting
Obtaining the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain name registered through our company under a hosting account is extremely easy. You won’t have to log in and out of different user interfaces, as you can manage both your domain names and your hosting account from the exact same location – our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To get the EPP transfer code for any domain, you just need to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the small EPP icon, which will be located next to each domain whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will email the code to the domain name registrant’s email immediately. In case you want to modify the email, you can do it from the same section of the Control Panel with only a few mouse clicks.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you want to transfer any domain that is registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another registrar company, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domains will be shown in an independent section of the Control Panel. Quick-access controls will enable you to use different functions. To obtain the transfer code, you only have to click on the EPP button, which will be to the right of any domain name whose TLD extension supports transfers with a transfer authorization code. Our system will send the code to the registrant’s email, which is presently listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record. If needed, you can change this email from the same section of the Control Panel before requesting the transfer authorization code. The update will propagate momentarily, so you will not have to wait for the new email address to be published on WHOIS lookup websites.
