Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another typically involves the use of a special domain authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unwanted transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain and is issued by the present registrar. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and traditionally contains digits and special characters, so as to impede unauthorized persons from breaking it. Certain registrar companies even alter the codes of domain names registered through them every now and then for better security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

You can obtain the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain that you’ve registered through us with only a couple of mouse clicks from the very same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your cloud website hosting account. As soon as you visit the Registered Domains section, you will find all your domain names conveniently listed in alphabetical order. In case some TLD extension supports transfers between domain name registrars with an EPP transfer code, you will notice an EPP button to the right of the respective domain. If you click on that button, the code will be emailed to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain dame. If you want, you can edit the contact info, including the email address, without the need to leave this section of the Control Panel, in case the currently listed email isn’t valid anymore.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you have registered a domain that you’d like to transfer, you can get the EPP transfer authorization code really easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll manage both your domain names and your account. If you go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see an EPP logo to the right of your domain names, provided that their extensions support transfers between registrar companies with such a code. All codes are sent automatically by our system to the registrant’s email address to ensure that only the domain name owner can receive this info. In case the current email is not valid, you can change it with a few clicks of the mouse without leaving this section of the Control Panel. The change is instantaneous, so you will be able to request the EPP code for the respective domain right away.
