Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another generally entails the use of a special authorization code, which different companies call an EPP key, a domain password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unapproved transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain registrant and is issued by the current registrar. 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 comprises of digits and special characters, so as to stop unauthenticated individuals from deciphering it. Certain domain registrars even change the codes of domains registered through them every now and then for greater safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

In case you have a cloud web hosting, you have registered a domain name through us and you’d like to transfer it away from us, you can obtain its EPP authorization code with no more than a few clicks of the mouse. When you log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and visit the Registered Domains section, you will see all the domains that you’ve registered with us listed alphabetically. On the right-hand side of each domain name, you will notice a mini EPP icon for all generic and country-code top-level domain name extensions that need a code in order to be transferred between domain name registrars. Clicking the icon will send the code to the registrant’s email momentarily. In the very same section you can also find and ultimately modify the email address, if the one there is not valid anymore.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with us and you’ve registered a domain that you would like to transfer, you can get the EPP transfer authentication code stunningly easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you will administer both your domains and your account. If you go to the Registered Domains section, you will notice an EPP icon to the right of your domain names, on the condition that their TLD 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 owner of the domain name can obtain this information. If the currently listed email address is not valid anymore, you can change it with a few clicks of the mouse without needing to leave this Control Panel section. The update is instantaneous, so you’ll be able to request the EPP code for the particular domain straight away.
