Transferring a domain from one company to another commonly involves the use of a unique domain name authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP key, a domain name password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a security measure against unapproved transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the domain registrant and is issued by the current domain registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer procedure cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and usually comprises of numbers and special characters, so as to prevent unauthorized people from deciphering it. Certain registrar companies even reset the codes of domains registered through them after a given period of time for even greater safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Hosting

In case you’ve got a Linux hosting, you’ve registered a domain name with us and you wish to transfer it away, you can obtain its EPP transfer code with less than a couple of clicks of the mouse. When you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and navigate to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domains that you’ve registered through us shown in alphabetical order. To the right of each domain, you will notice a mini EPP icon for all top-level domain name extensions that require a code in order to be transferred between registrar companies. Clicking the icon will send the code to the registrant’s email instantaneously. In the exact same section you can also see and eventually change the email, if the one there is not valid anymore.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you’d like to transfer any domain that is registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another domain name registrar, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domain names will be displayed in a separate section. Quick-access controls will enable you to use separate features. To get the transfer code, you only have to click the EPP button, which will be on the right-hand side of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with a transfer authorization code. Our system will send the code to the domain owner’s email address, which is presently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If you want, you can edit this email from the same Control Panel section before requesting the transfer authorization code. The update will propagate right away, so you do not need to wait for the new email address to appear on WHOIS websites.
