Transferring a domain name from one company to another commonly entails the use of a unique transfer 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 security measure against unwanted 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 issued by the present domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer process cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and ordinarily comprises of digits and special symbols, so as to impede unauthenticated individuals from cracking it. Some registrar companies even alter the codes of domain names registered through them once in a while for better security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting

In case you’ve got a domain name registered through our company and you’ve got a shared web hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP transfer code is astonishingly easy. You won’t have to log in and out of different admin panels, as you can manage all your domain names through the same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared hosting account. You will see all existing domain names as soon as you log in and on the right side of the domains whose extensions require an EPP authorization code in order to be transferred, you will notice a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to obtain that code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the registrant’s email account, so in case the one that you gave initially is not valid anymore, you can modify it with a few clicks of the mouse from the exact same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you want to transfer any domain name that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another domain registrar, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with a few clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domain names are listed in a separate Control Panel section. Quick-access buttons will allow you to use different functions. To obtain the transfer code, you simply have to click the EPP icon, which will be to the right of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with a transfer authorization code. Our system will send the code to the domain registrant’s email, which is currently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If you wish, you can change this email from the same section of the Control Panel before requesting the EPP transfer authorization code. The change will propagate immediately, so you do not need to wait for the new email to appear on WHOIS lookup websites.
