Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another traditionally entails the use of a special domain authorization code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a protection measure against unwanted transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. It can be obtained only by the domain name owner and is issued by the present registrar. It must be given to the new domain registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and traditionally contains numbers and special characters, so as to prevent unauthorized people from hijacking it. Certain domain registrars even change the codes of domains registered through them after a particular amount of time for greater security.
EPP Transfer Protection in Web Hosting
You can obtain the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain that you’ve registered with our company with only a few clicks from the very same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your web hosting account. Once you visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all your domains neatly listed in alphabetical order. In case a certain TLD extension supports transfers between domain name registrars with an EPP code, you’ll see an EPP button to the right of the given domain name. If you click that button, the code will be emailed to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the domain in question. If needed, you can update the contact information, including the email address, without even leaving this Control Panel section, in case the currently entered email is no longer valid.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can swiftly obtain the transfer code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you decide to transfer it away. This can be achieved through the exact same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you won’t have to log in and out of different tools. All you will have to do is go to the Control Panel’s domain management section and click the EPP button associated with the domain name that you’d like to transfer, on the condition that its TLD extension supports transfers with a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain name registrant’s email listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so in case the email address that is currently entered is obsolete, you can update it with a couple of clicks of the mouse without the need to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
