If you want to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you will need to pass through several safety steps. One of them is getting a special EPP code from the present registrar – on the condition that you are the registrant, since the code is emailed to the domain owner’s email address and nobody else can obtain it. You will have to provide this code to the new registrar, otherwise they will not be able to initiate the transfer process. The EPP codes are case-sensitive and may include numbers or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy and paste the right code. As an extra security measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain may be reset regularly. Certain domain registrars refer to this code as a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Hosting

You can obtain the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain that you’ve registered with our company with only a couple of mouse clicks from the very same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your hosting account. As soon as you visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll find all your domain names conveniently displayed in alphabetical order. In case a certain extension supports transfers between registrar companies with an EPP transfer code, you will see an EPP button to the right of the respective domain name. If you click that button, the code will be emailed to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain. If needed, you can update the contact information, including the email address, without needing to leave this section of the Control Panel, in case the currently entered email isn’t valid anymore.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you’ll be able to get its EPP transfer authentication code with only one single click of the mouse, if you decide to move it to some other registrar. All it takes to achieve that is to sign in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to visit the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be next to the domain. Of course, such a button will be available only if the respective generic or country-code domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within one minute, an email that contains the code will be sent to the domain name registrant’s mailbox associated with that domain. You can edit the latter through the very same Control Panel section – if the one that is presently listed in the WHOIS register is not a valid one. Since the change will propagate without any delays, you can request the EPP code directly after that.
