Transferring a domain name from one company to another generally involves the use of a special authorization code, which different registrar companies refer to as an EPP authentication code, a domain name password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a security mechanism against unsolicited transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain registrant and is provided by the current domain registrar company. It must be given to the new domain registrar company because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and normally includes digits and special characters, so as to stop unauthorized individuals from hijacking it. Certain registrar companies even change the codes of domains registered through them after a given amount of time for even better security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

If you’ve got a domain name registered through our company and you have a shared hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is surprisingly easy. You won’t have to switch between different systems, as you can manage all your domains via the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to administer your shared web hosting account. You’ll see all registered domain names the moment you log in and next to the domain names whose extensions require an EPP transfer code in order to be transferred, you will see a small EPP icon. All it takes to obtain this code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain registrant’s email account, so in case the one that you specified initially is no longer valid, you can update it with a few clicks of the mouse from the same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you want to transfer any domain that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another domain registrar, you can get its EPP transfer authorization code with a few mouse clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domains are listed in a different section. Quick-access controls will enable you to use separate functions. To obtain the transfer code, you only need to click the EPP sign, which will be on the right-hand side of any domain name whose TLD extension supports transfers with an authorization code. Our system will email the code to the domain name registrant’s email, which is currently listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record. If you wish, you can edit this email address from the exact same Control Panel section before requesting the transfer code. The change will propagate right away, so you will not need to wait for the new email address to be shown on WHOIS lookup websites.
