Transferring a domain name from one company to another usually involves the use of a unique transfer code, which different companies refer to as an EPP key, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a security measure against unwanted transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. It can be obtained only by the domain owner and is provided by the present registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer process cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and often includes digits and special symbols, so as to impede unauthorized people from deciphering it. Some domain name registrars even reset the codes of domains registered through them once in a while for even greater safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting
You can get the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain name that you’ve registered with us with just several clicks from the same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your cloud hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you will find all your domains conveniently displayed in alphabetical order. In case a certain TLD extension supports transfers between domain registrars with an EPP code, you’ll see an EPP button to the right of the given domain name. If you click on that button, the code will be sent to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain dame. If you wish, you can modify the contact information, including the email address, without having to leave this Control Panel section, in case the currently listed email is no longer valid.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can effortlessly obtain the transfer authentication code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you’d like to transfer it away. This can be done through the very same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you will not have to sign in and out of different admin consoles. All you will need to do is go to the domain management section of the Control Panel and click the EPP button associated with the domain name that you wish to transfer, provided that its TLD extension supports transfers with a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain name registrant’s email listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so in case the email that is currently entered is out of date, you can change it with several clicks of the mouse without needing to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
