Transferring a domain name from one company to another traditionally involves the use of a special transfer authorization code, which different registrar companies refer to as an EPP key, a domain name password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a security mechanism against unapproved transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain name and is provided by the present registrar company. 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 often includes numbers and special symbols, so as to prevent unauthenticated individuals from guessing it. Certain companies even reset the codes of domain names registered through them after a certain period of time for better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting

You can obtain the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain that you’ve registered through us with just several clicks of the mouse from the same Hepsia Control Panel that you will use to administer your cloud hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you will find all your domains neatly displayed in alphabetical order. In case a particular TLD extension supports transfers between domain registrars with an EPP code, you’ll see an EPP button next to the given domain name. If you click on that button, the code will be sent to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the domain name in question. If needed, you can update the contact info, including the email, without even leaving this Control Panel section, if the current email isn’t valid any longer.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you want to transfer any domain that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another registrar company, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with several clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. All registered domain names are displayed in a separate Control Panel section. Quick-access buttons will enable you to use different functions. To get the EPP transfer code, you only need to click the EPP button, which will be next to any domain name whose extension supports transfers with a transfer authorization code. Our system will send the code to the domain registrant’s email address, which is currently listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record. If you wish, you can change this email from the same Control Panel section before requesting the transfer code. The change will propagate instantaneously, so you won’t need to wait for the new email address to be shown on WHOIS lookup sites.
