If you want to transfer a domain name from one registrar company to another, you will need a unique domain authorization code, which may be referred to by many names – an EPP authorization code, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, etc. All these names refer to one and the same thing – a code that the domain name registrant gets from the present registrar and provides to the new one at the time of the order. Without an authentic code, a transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the security mechanisms against unauthorized transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater safety, the code contains numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you would like to transfer one of your domain names, you need to present the new domain name registrar with the right code.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

In case you’ve got a domain registered through us and you’ve got a shared hosting account with us, getting its EPP code is surprisingly easy. You will not have to log in and out of different interfaces, as you can manage all your domain names via the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your web hosting account. You’ll see all existing domains the moment you sign in and to the right of the domain names whose extensions require a code in order to be transferred away, you’ll see a mini EPP icon. All it takes to obtain this code is to click on the icon. The code is always sent to the domain name owner’s mailbox, so in case the one that you shared at first is not valid any longer, you can update it with a few clicks of the mouse from the very same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you decide to transfer any domain that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another company, you can get its EPP transfer authorization code with several clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domain names will be displayed in an autonomous section. Quick-access buttons will permit you to use separate features. To get the EPP transfer code, you only have to click the EPP button, which will be on the right-hand side of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with an authorization code. Our system will send the code to the registrant’s email, which is presently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If you want, you can edit this email address from the very same Control Panel section before requesting the EPP transfer authorization code. The update will propagate instantly, so you will not have to wait for the new email to be published on WHOIS lookup sites.
