If you wish to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you’ll need a special domain authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP key, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, etc. All these names designate the same thing – a code that the domain name registrant receives from the current domain 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 safety mechanisms against unsolicited transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even better safety, the code contains digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you want to transfer one of your domains, you need to supply the new domain name registrar with the right code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Web Hosting
If you’ve got a domain name registered through our company and you have a web hosting account with us, getting its EPP code is extremely easy. You won’t have to switch between different user interfaces, as you can manage all your domain names through the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to administer your web hosting account. You’ll see all active domain names once you log in and next to the domains whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you’ll find a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to obtain that code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain registrant’s email, so in case the one that you shared initially isn’t valid any longer, you can edit it with a few mouse clicks from the same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can swiftly obtain the transfer authentication code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you wish to transfer it. This can be achieved through the exact same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you won’t have to switch between different interfaces. All you have to do is visit the Control Panel’s domain management section and click the EPP button for the domain name that you wish to transfer, as long as its extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain registrant’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the email address that is currently listed is outdated, you can modify it with a few clicks without the need to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
