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.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting
If you’ve got a Linux shared website hosting, you’ve registered a domain name with our company and you want to transfer it away, you can obtain its EPP authorization code with no more than a few clicks. When you log into your Hepsia Control Panel and navigate to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domain names that you have registered with our company shown in alphabetical order. To the right of each domain, you will notice a tiny EPP icon for all generic and country-code top-level domain name extensions that require an EPP code in order to be transferred between registrar companies. Clicking the icon will email the EPP code to the domain registrant’s email instantly. In the same section you can also find and ultimately modify the email, if the one there is no longer valid.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you would like to transfer any domain name that is registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another registrar, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. All registered domains are displayed in an autonomous section of the Control Panel. Quick-access buttons will allow you to use different features. To get the EPP transfer code, you simply have to click the EPP button, which will be next to any domain whose TLD extension supports transfers with an authorization code. Our system will send the code to the domain registrant’s email, which is currently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If needed, you can modify this email address from the same section of the Control Panel before requesting the transfer authorization code. The update will take effect instantaneously, so you do not have to wait for the new email to appear on WHOIS sites.
