Transferring a domain name from one company to another typically entails the use of a unique domain authorization 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 unsolicited transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain owner and is issued 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 usually contains numbers and special characters, so as to impede unauthenticated people from hijacking it. Certain domain name registrars even alter the codes of domains registered through them every now and then for better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Web Hosting

If you have a domain registered through us and you’ve got a web hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP authentication code is incredibly easy. You won’t need to log in and out of different platforms, since you can administer all your domains via the exact same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared web hosting account. You’ll see all existing domain names as soon as you log in and next to the domains whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred away, you will notice a mini EPP icon. All it takes to obtain that code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the registrant’s email address, so if the one that you shared originally is no longer valid, you can update it with several clicks of the mouse from the same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can swiftly get the transfer authorization code for any domain name 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 won’t have to log in and out of different platforms. All you will need to do is go to the Control Panel’s domain management section and click on the EPP button associated with the domain name that you would like to transfer, on the condition that its extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain owner’s email listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the email that is currently entered is obsolete, you can edit it with several clicks without the need to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
