Transferring a domain name from one company to another traditionally involves the use of a special authorization code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authentication code, a domain password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unsolicited transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain name and is provided by the current registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and often includes digits and special characters, so as to stop unauthorized individuals from breaking it. Some domain registrars even change the codes of domain names registered through them after a particular period of time for even greater safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

Obtaining the EPP transfer code for any domain registered through us under a shared hosting account is amazingly easy. You won’t need to switch between different Control Panels, as you can administer both your domain names and your hosting account from one single location – our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To get the transfer code for any domain, you simply have to go to the Registered Domains section and to click the tiny EPP symbol, which will be located next to each domain name whose extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Our system will send the code to the domain registrant’s email address immediately. In case you’d like to change the email, you can do it from the same section of the Control Panel with just several clicks of the mouse.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can effortlessly obtain the transfer authentication code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you would like to transfer it. This can be achieved through the very same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you will not have to switch between different admin panels. All you will need to do is visit the domain management section of the Control Panel and click the EPP button for the domain name that you would like to transfer, provided that its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain owner’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the address that is currently listed is out of date, you can edit it with a few mouse clicks without needing to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
