If you wish to transfer a domain from one registrar company to another, you’ll need a unique authorization code, which may be called by multiple names – an EPP authorization code, an Auth code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names designate the exact same thing – a code that the domain owner receives from the current domain name registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without a genuine code, a domain transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unsanctioned transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even better security, the code includes digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you would like to transfer one of your domain names, you have to provide the new registrar with the correct code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting
If you have a domain registered through us and you’ve got a cloud hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is really easy. You will not need to sign in and out of different admin interfaces, as you can manage all your domain names through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared web hosting account. You’ll see all existing domains the moment you sign in and to the right of the domains whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you will see a mini EPP icon. All it takes to get this code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain registrant’s email account, so in case the one that you shared originally is no longer valid, you can modify it with a few clicks from the exact same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you have registered a domain that you want to transfer, you can obtain the EPP transfer authentication code unbelievably easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll administer both your account and your domain names. If you visit the Registered Domains section, you will see an EPP sign next to your domain names, on the condition that their extensions support transfers between registrars with such a code. All codes are sent automatically by our system to the registrant’s email address to make sure that only the owner of the domain name can obtain this info. If the currently listed email isn’t valid, you can modify it with a few mouse clicks without leaving this section of the Control Panel. The update is instant, so you will be able to request the EPP transfer code for the particular domain straight away.
