Transferring a domain from one registrar company to another typically involves the use of a unique domain name authorization code, which different registrar companies refer to as an EPP key, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unsolicited transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain name and is provided by the present registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer process cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly comprises of digits and special characters, so as to impede unauthenticated individuals from deciphering it. Some domain name registrars even reset the codes of domain names registered through them every now and then for better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

You can get the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain name that you have registered through us with only a couple of mouse clicks from the exact same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your cloud web hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll find all your domains neatly shown in alphabetical order. In case some extension supports transfers between registrar companies with an EPP transfer code, you’ll see an EPP button to the right of the given domain. If you click on that button, the code will be sent to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the domain name in question. If needed, you can edit the contact information, including the email, without needing to leave this section of the Control Panel, in case the currently listed email isn’t valid anymore.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you would like to transfer any domain name that is registered under a semi-dedicated server account away from our company, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with several mouse clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domain names will be shown in a separate Control Panel section. Quick-access controls will allow you to use separate features. To get the transfer code, you just need to click on the EPP sign, which will be next to any domain name whose extension supports transfers with a transfer authorization code. Our system will email the code to the domain registrant’s email, which is currently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If needed, you can change this email address from the exact same section of the Control Panel before requesting the EPP transfer authorization code. The update will take effect right away, so you won’t have to wait for the new email address to be published on WHOIS lookup web sites.
