If you want to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you will need a special code, which may be called by various names – an EPP key, an Auth code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names denote the same thing – a code that the domain owner gets from the current domain name registrar and gives to the new one at the time of the order. Without a valid code, a domain transfer cannot be started and this is one of the protection measures against unauthorized transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater security, the code includes numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you would like to transfer one of your domain names, you need to present the new domain name registrar with the right code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Website Hosting
In case you have a domain registered through our company and you have a website hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP authentication code is extremely easy. You will not have to sign in and out of different Control Panels, as you can administer all your domains through the same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You’ll see all registered domain names once you log in and next to the domain names whose extensions require a code in order to be transferred, you will see a small EPP icon. All it takes to get that code is to click on the icon. The code is always sent to the domain registrant’s email account, so if the one that you gave initially isn’t valid anymore, you can edit it with several clicks of the mouse from the very same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can effortlessly obtain the transfer authorization code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you decide to transfer it. This can be achieved through the exact same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you won’t have to switch between different tools. All you need to do is go to the domain management section of the Control Panel and click the EPP button for the domain that you would like to transfer, on the condition that its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain owner’s email listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so in case the address that is currently entered is outdated, you can modify it with several clicks of the mouse without having to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
