If you would like to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you will need a special transfer code, which may be called by different names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names designate one and the same thing – a code that the domain owner gets from the present domain name registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without a valid code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection measures against unapproved transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For greater security, the code includes digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you’d like to transfer one of your domains, you have to present the new company with the right code.

EPP Transfer Protection in Website Hosting

You can get the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain that you’ve registered with us with just a few mouse clicks from the exact same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to administer your website hosting account. As soon as you visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll find all your domain names neatly shown in alphabetical order. If a certain extension supports transfers between domain name registrars with an EPP code, you’ll notice an EPP button on the right side of the given domain name. If you click that button, the code will be sent to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain. If you wish, you can edit the contact information, including the email, without even leaving this section of the Control Panel, if the currently listed email is no longer valid.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to get its EPP transfer authorization code with just a click of the mouse, if you decide to transfer it to some other domain name registrar. All it takes to accomplish that is to log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to navigate to the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be on the right-hand side of the domain name. Of course, such a button will be available only if the particular generic or country-code domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within a minute, an email message that contains the EPP code will be sent to the registrant’s email address associated with that domain. You can update the latter via the very same Control Panel section – in case the one that’s presently listed in the WHOIS register isn’t a valid one. Since the update will propagate without any delays, you can request the EPP transfer code directly after that.
