If you’d like to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you will need a unique domain authorization code, which may be called by different names – an EPP key, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, etc. All these names designate one and the same thing – a code that the domain registrant receives from the current registrar and gives to the new one during the order process. Without a valid code, a transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unapproved transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even greater safety, the code contains numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you would like to transfer one of your domains, you have to provide the new registrar with the right code.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting

In case you’ve got a Linux shared website hosting packages, you’ve registered a domain name with our company and you want to transfer it, you can get its EPP authentication code with less than several mouse clicks. When you sign into your Hepsia Control Panel and navigate to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domain names that you have registered with us displayed in alphabetical order. To the right of each domain name, you will see a tiny EPP icon for all Top-Level Domain extensions that need a code in order to be transferred between registrar companies. Clicking on the icon will send the EPP code to the registrant’s email address momentarily. In the very same section you can also see and eventually change the email address, if the one there isn’t valid any longer.
