If you’d like to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you will need to go through a few security steps. One of them is getting a unique EPP authorization code from the present registrar – as long as you are the registrant, since the code is emailed to the domain owner’s mailbox and nobody else can get it. You will have to give this code to the new registrar company, or else they won’t be able to start the transfer. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of numbers or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily mistyped, so make sure you copy & paste the right code. As an extra security measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain name may be changed regularly. Some companies call this code a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Web Hosting

In case you have a domain name registered through our company and you’ve got a web hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP code is stunningly easy. You will not have to switch between different tools, as you can administer all your domain names through the same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to administer your shared hosting account. You will see all registered domain names once you log in and to the right of the domain names whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you’ll notice a mini EPP icon. All it takes to obtain this code is to click the icon. The code is always sent to the domain owner’s mailbox, so in case the one that you specified initially isn’t valid anymore, you can change it with a couple of clicks of the mouse from the exact same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account with us and you have registered a domain name that you want to transfer, you can get the EPP transfer code surprisingly easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll administer both your account and your domain names. If you visit the Registered Domains section, you will notice an EPP sign on the right side of your domain names, on the condition that their extensions support transfers between domain registrars with such a code. All codes are sent automatically by our system to the registrant’s email address to make sure that only the domain owner can receive this info. If the currently listed address isn’t valid, you can modify it with several mouse clicks without needing to leave this Control Panel section. The update is instantaneous, so you will be able to request the EPP transfer code for the particular domain right away.
