If you want to transfer a domain name from one registrar company to another, you will need a special code, which may be called by various names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names refer to one and the same thing – a code that the domain name registrant obtains from the current registrar and provides to the new one during the order procedure. Without an authentic code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unapproved transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For greater safety, the code includes digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you would like to transfer one of your domains, you need to provide the new domain registrar with the correct code.
