Transferring a domain name from one company to another normally involves the use of a special domain authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authentication code, a domain password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unsolicited transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain name and is provided by the current registrar company. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and ordinarily includes digits and special characters, so as to prevent unauthorized persons from deciphering it. Certain companies even reset the codes of domains registered through them after a particular period of time for better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting

You can obtain the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain that you’ve registered through us with only a couple of mouse clicks from the very same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your shared website hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all your domain names neatly shown in alphabetical order. In case a certain extension supports transfers between registrars with an EPP code, you’ll notice an EPP button to the right of the respective domain. If you click that button, the code will be emailed to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the domain name in question. If you wish, you can update the contact info, including the email, without having to leave this section of the Control Panel, in case the currently entered email address is no longer valid.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can quickly get the transfer authorization code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you’d like to transfer it. This can be done through the exact same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you won’t have to go through different Control Panel tools. All you will need to do is go to the domain management section of the Control Panel and click the EPP button associated with the domain that you’d like to transfer, as long as its TLD extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the registrant’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the address that is currently listed is obsolete, you can change it with several clicks without the need to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
