Transferring a domain from one company to another typically involves the use of a special domain authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authentication code, a domain name password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a protection measure against unapproved transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain and is issued by the current registrar. 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 usually contains numbers and special characters, so as to impede unauthenticated people from deciphering it. Some companies even change the codes of domain names registered through them every now and then for even better security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Web Hosting

Obtaining the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain name registered through us under a web hosting account is remarkably easy. You will not have to log in and out of different admin panels, since you can administer both your domains and your hosting account from one single place – our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. To get the transfer code for any domain name, you just have to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the tiny EPP symbol, which will be situated to the right of each domain name whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will send the code to the domain owner’s email instantly. In case you would like to modify the email, you can do it from the very same section of the Control Panel with only several clicks of the mouse.
