If you would like to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you’ll need a unique domain authorization code, which may be called by many names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, etc. All these names designate the same thing – a code that the domain name owner obtains from the current domain registrar and provides to the new one during the order process. Without a valid code, a domain transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the safety measures against unapproved transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even greater safety, the code comprises of numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you have to supply the new registrar with the correct code.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting

In case you have a domain name registered through us and you have a shared web hosting account with us, getting its EPP authorization code is remarkably easy. You won’t need to sign in and out of different user interfaces, as you can manage all your domains through the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared hosting account. You will see all active domains the moment you log in and on the right side of the domains whose extensions require an EPP transfer code in order to be transferred away, you’ll see a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to get this code is to click on the icon. The code is always sent to the registrant’s email, so in case the one that you specified initially is not valid anymore, you can modify it with several clicks of the mouse from the exact same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can swiftly get the transfer code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you decide to transfer it away. This can be accomplished through the same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you won’t have to go through different admin panels. All you need to do is visit 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 emails all codes automatically to the registrant’s email address listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so in case the email that is currently entered is out of date, you can change it with a couple of mouse clicks without needing to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
