Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another typically entails the use of a unique authorization code, which different companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a security mechanism against unsolicited transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain owner and is provided by the present domain registrar company. It must be given to the new domain registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and ordinarily includes digits and special symbols, so as to stop unauthenticated persons from cracking it. Certain companies even reset the codes of domain names registered through them after a particular interval of time for better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting

Getting the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain registered through us under a shared website hosting account is surprisingly easy. You won’t have to sign in and out of different Control Panels, as you can manage both your domain names and your shared hosting account from the very same location – our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To get the EPP transfer code for any domain name, you simply have to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the mini EPP icon, which will be situated to the right of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Our system will send the code to the domain registrant’s email address immediately. If you would like to update the email, you can do it from the same section of the hosting Control Panel with only several mouse clicks.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you’ve registered a domain name that you want to transfer, you can get the EPP transfer authentication code amazingly easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll administer both your domains and your account. If you go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see an EPP logo to the right of your domains, provided that their extensions support transfers between domain registrars with such a code. All codes are sent automatically by our system to the registrant’s email to make sure that only the domain owner can obtain this info. If the current address is not valid anymore, you can change it with a few mouse clicks without needing to leave this Control Panel section. The change is instantaneous, so you’ll be able to request the EPP code for the particular domain straight away.
