In case you want to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you will need a special code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP key, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, and so on. All these names refer to one and the same thing – a code that the domain name owner gets from the present registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without an authentic code, a transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the security measures against unsolicited transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For greater safety, the code comprises of digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you want to transfer one of your domain names, you have to provide the new domain name registrar with the right code.

EPP Transfer Protection in Web Hosting

In case you have a domain registered through our company and you’ve got a web hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP authorization code is incredibly easy. You will not have to log in and out of different admin consoles, as you can administer all your domains via the exact same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to administer your shared web hosting account. You will see all registered domains as soon as you sign in and next to the domains whose extensions require an EPP code in order to be transferred away, you’ll notice a mini EPP icon. All it takes to get this code is to click the icon. The code is always sent to the domain name registrant’s email account, so in case the one that you specified initially is not valid any longer, you can edit it with a few clicks from the same section.
