Transferring a domain from one registrar company to another generally entails the use of a special domain authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unsolicited transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain name and is issued by the current domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and often contains numbers and special symbols, so as to stop unauthorized persons from deciphering it. Some domain name registrars even reset the codes of domains registered through them after a certain interval of time for even greater safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

You can get the EPP transfer code for any domain name that you have registered through our company with just a few clicks from the exact same Hepsia Control Panel that you will use to administer your cloud web hosting account. As soon as you go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll find all your domain names neatly displayed in alphabetical order. If a particular TLD extension supports transfers between registrars with an EPP transfer code, you will notice an EPP button to the right of the respective domain name. If you click that button, the code will be sent to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the domain in question. If needed, you can update the contact info, including the email address, without even leaving this section of the Control Panel, if the currently entered email is no longer valid.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you’ve registered a domain that you wish to transfer, you can obtain the EPP transfer code really easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll manage both your account and your domain names. If you visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll see an EPP symbol to the right of your domain names, provided that their extensions support transfers between domain registrars with such a code. All codes are sent automatically by our system to the registrant’s email to make sure that only the owner of the domain can get this info. If the current email is not valid any longer, you can edit it with a couple of clicks without having to leave this Control Panel section. The update is instantaneous, so you’ll be able to request the EPP code for the particular domain name right away.
