If you decide to transfer a domain from one registrar company to another, you’ll need to pass through several safety steps. One of them is getting a unique EPP authentication code from the current registrar company – on the condition that you are the domain registrant, since the code is emailed to the domain owner’s email and no one else can see it. You will have to provide this code to the new domain registrar, otherwise they won’t be able to begin the transfer. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may include digits or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy/paste the correct code. As an additional protection measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be reset regularly. Some domain name registrars call this code an Auth key, a domain password or a domain secret as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting

In case you have a domain registered through us and you’ve got a shared web hosting account with us, getting its EPP authorization code is very easy. You won’t have to switch between different systems, since you can manage all your domain names via the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared hosting account. You’ll see all active domains once you sign in and on the right side of the domains whose extensions require an EPP code in order to be transferred away, you will notice a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to get this code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the registrant’s mailbox, so if the one that you shared originally is not valid any longer, you can edit it with a couple of mouse clicks from the very same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can effortlessly 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 exact same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you will not have to go through different user interfaces. All you will have to do is go to the Control Panel’s domain management section and click the EPP button associated with the domain name that you wish to transfer, provided that its TLD extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain name registrant’s email listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the email address that is currently listed is outdated, you can edit it with several clicks without having to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
