Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another traditionally involves the use of a special transfer 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 mechanism against unapproved transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the particular domain and is provided by the current domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly comprises of numbers and special characters, so as to obstruct unauthorized persons from breaking it. Certain companies even alter the codes of domain names registered through them after a given period of time for greater security.
EPP Transfer Protection in Hosting
You can get the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain that you’ve registered through our company with just a few mouse clicks from the exact same Hepsia Control Panel that you will use to manage your hosting account. As soon as you visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all your domain names conveniently shown in alphabetical order. In case a certain TLD extension supports transfers between registrars with an EPP transfer code, you will notice an EPP button on the right side of the respective domain name. If you click on that button, the code will be emailed to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the domain in question. If needed, you can update the contact information, including the email address, without the need to leave this Control Panel section, in case the currently entered email address is not valid anymore.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can effortlessly get the transfer authorization code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you would like to transfer it away. This can be accomplished through the very same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you will not have to go through different platforms. All you will need to do is go to the domain management section of the Control Panel and click on the EPP button associated with the domain name that you would like 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 listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so in case the email that is currently listed is obsolete, you can edit it with a few clicks of the mouse without the need to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
