Transferring a domain from one registrar company to another commonly entails the use of a unique domain authorization code, which different registrar companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a security measure against unapproved transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain name and is issued by the current domain registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and typically comprises of numbers and special characters, so as to stop unauthenticated people from hijacking it. Certain registrar companies even reset the codes of domains registered through them every once in a while for greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

You can get the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain that you’ve registered with us with only a few clicks of the mouse from the same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your shared hosting account. Once you visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all your domain names conveniently displayed in alphabetical order. In case some TLD extension supports transfers between registrar companies with an EPP code, you’ll notice an EPP button on the right side of the given domain. If you click that button, the code will be sent to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain dame. If you want, you can edit the contact info, including the email, without having to leave this section of the Control Panel, if the current email is not valid any longer.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can easily obtain the transfer authorization code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you want to transfer it. This can be done through the very same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you will not have to log in and out of different platforms. All you have to do is visit the Control Panel’s domain management section and click the EPP button for the domain that you’d like to transfer, as long as its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain registrant’s email listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so if the address that is currently listed is out of date, you can modify it with several clicks of the mouse without needing to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
