Transferring a domain name from one company to another generally involves the use of a unique transfer authorization code, which different registrar companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unwanted transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain owner and is provided by the current domain registrar company. It must be given to the new domain registrar company because the transfer cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and traditionally includes numbers and special characters, so as to prevent unauthenticated people from guessing it. Some domain name registrars even reset the codes of domain names registered through them after a certain amount of time for greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Hosting

If you’ve got a domain name registered through us and you have a hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP transfer code is remarkably easy. You won’t need to switch between different admin consoles, as you can administer all your domain names via the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You’ll see all existing domains as soon as you log in and next to the domain names whose extensions require an EPP code in order to be transferred, you will notice a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to obtain the code is to click the icon. The code is always sent to the domain registrant’s email account, so if the one that you shared at first isn’t valid any longer, you can modify it with a couple of clicks of the mouse from the very same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can effortlessly get the transfer authorization code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you would like to transfer it. This can be done through the same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you will not have to switch between different platforms. All you need to do is go to the Control Panel’s domain management section and click the EPP button for the domain that you want to transfer, provided that its TLD extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain name owner’s email listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so in case the address that is currently listed is out of date, you can modify it with a few clicks of the mouse without having to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
