In case you wish to transfer a domain from one domain registrar to another, you’ll need a special domain authorization code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names denote the exact same thing – a code that the domain name owner receives from the current registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without a valid code, a domain transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety measures against unsanctioned transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For greater security, the code comprises of digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you want to transfer one of your domains, you need to supply the new domain registrar with the right code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Web Hosting
In case you’ve got a domain name registered through us and you have a web hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP authentication code is surprisingly easy. You won’t have to log in and out of different platforms, since you can manage all your domain names via the exact same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to administer your hosting account. You will see all existing domains the moment you sign in and on the right side of the domain names whose extensions require an EPP authorization code in order to be transferred away, you will find a mini EPP icon. All it takes to get the code is to click the icon. The code is always sent to the domain owner’s email, so if the one that you gave originally is not valid anymore, you can edit it with a couple of clicks of the mouse from the very same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you’ve got 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 very easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you will administer both your account and your domain names. If you go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll notice an EPP logo on the right side of your domain names, on the condition that their TLD extensions support transfers between registrar companies with such a code. All codes are sent automatically by our system to the registrant’s email address to ensure that only the domain name owner can receive this info. If the currently listed address isn’t valid any longer, you can update it with several clicks without leaving this Control Panel section. The change is instant, so you’ll be able to request the EPP code for the given domain right away.
