Transferring a domain name from one company to another normally involves the use of a special authorization code, which different companies call an EPP authentication code, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a safety measure against unsanctioned transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain name and is issued by the present domain registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer procedure cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and typically contains numbers and special characters, so as to hinder unauthorized persons from guessing it. Some registrar companies even change the codes of domain names registered through them from time to time for better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

Getting the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain name registered through our company under a shared hosting account is surprisingly easy. You will not have to sign in and out of different Control Panel tools, as you can manage both your domain names and your shared hosting account from one single place – our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To get the transfer code for any domain, you only need to visit the Registered Domains section and to click the tiny EPP sign, which will be situated next to any domain name whose extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Our system will email the code to the domain registrant’s email immediately. In case you want to change the email, you can do it from the very same section of the Control Panel with just several clicks.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you have registered a domain name that you would like to transfer, you can obtain the EPP transfer code exceptionally easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you will administer both your account and your domain names. If you visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll find an EPP icon to the right of your domain names, as long as their extensions support transfers between domain name registrars with such a code. All codes are emailed automatically by our system to the registrant’s email to make sure that only the domain name owner can obtain this information. In case the currently entered email address isn’t valid, you can change it with several clicks without the need to leave this section of the Control Panel. The change is instant, so you’ll be able to request the EPP transfer code for the respective domain name straight away.
