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.
