If you wish to transfer a domain name from one registrar company to another, you will need a unique authorization code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP authorization code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names refer to the same thing – a code that the domain owner obtains from the present domain registrar and provides to the new one during the order procedure. Without an authentic code, a domain transfer process cannot be started and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unauthorized transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even better security, the code contains numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you’d like to transfer one of your domains, you need to supply the new domain registrar with the right code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting
In case you have a domain registered through our company and you have a shared web hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP authentication code is stunningly easy. You will not need to log in and out of different admin interfaces, as you can manage all your domains through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to administer your hosting account. You’ll see all active domains 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 small EPP icon. All it takes to obtain this code is to click on the icon. The code is always sent to the domain registrant’s email account, so in case the one that you shared originally is no longer valid, you can update it with a few clicks from the same section.
