If you would like to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you’ll need a special code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP authorization code, an Auth code, a domain password, etc. All these names designate one and the same thing – a code that the domain owner receives from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one during the order process. Without a valid code, a domain transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection measures against unapproved transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even better security, the code includes numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you want to transfer one of your domain names, you need to provide the new domain registrar with the correct code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to get its EPP transfer code with just a click, in case you decide to move it to another company. All it takes to do that is to sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, to navigate to the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be next to the domain name. Of course, this button will be there only if the respective generic or country-code Top-Level Domain extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within a minute, an email that includes the code will be sent to the domain name registrant’s mailbox associated with that domain name. You can change the latter through the same Control Panel section – if the one that’s currently listed in the WHOIS details isn’t a valid one. Since the update will take effect without delay, you can request the EPP transfer code right after that.
