In case you’d like to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you will need a special domain authorization code, which may be referred to by various names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth code, a domain name password, etc. All these names designate the very same thing – a code that the domain name owner gets from the current registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without an authentic code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the security mechanisms against unsanctioned transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even better safety, the code includes digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you need to provide the new domain registrar with the correct code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Web Hosting
If you’ve got a domain registered through our company and you have a web hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is stunningly easy. You will not have to switch between different Control Panel tools, since you can administer all your domains via the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You’ll see all active domains as soon as you log in and to the right of the domains whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you’ll find a small EPP icon. All it takes to obtain the code is to click on the icon. The code is always sent to the domain name registrant’s mailbox, so if the one that you gave at first isn’t valid anymore, you can edit it with a few clicks of the mouse from the same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can swiftly get the transfer authentication code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you would like to transfer it. This can be done through the exact same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you will not have to log in and out of different Control Panels. All you will have to do is visit the Control Panel’s domain management section and click the EPP button for the domain name that you want to transfer, provided that its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain name owner’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so in case the email that is currently entered is obsolete, you can update it with several mouse clicks without the need to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
