Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another usually entails the use of a unique domain authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a safety measure against unsanctioned transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the domain owner and is issued by the current domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly includes digits and special characters, so as to impede unauthenticated individuals from guessing it. Certain registrars even change the codes of domains registered through them after a given amount of time for greater safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting

In case you have a domain name registered through us and you’ve got a cloud hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP transfer code is incredibly easy. You will not need to log in and out of different admin interfaces, as you can manage all your domains through the same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your web hosting account. You will see all registered domains the moment you sign in and to the right of the domains whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you will notice a small EPP icon. All it takes to get that code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain name registrant’s mailbox, so in case the one that you gave originally is no longer valid, you can edit it with a few clicks from the very same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can quickly get the transfer authorization code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you wish to transfer it away. This can be done through the same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you won’t have to log in and out of different platforms. All you will have to do is go to the domain management section of the Control Panel and click the EPP button for the domain name that you want to transfer, as long as its TLD extension supports transfers with a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain name owner’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the email that is currently listed is outdated, you can change it with a few clicks of the mouse without the need to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
