Transferring a domain from one company to another normally entails the use of a special transfer authorization code, which different companies call an EPP authentication code, a domain password or an AuthInfo 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 particular domain and is provided by the present domain registrar company. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly includes digits and special characters, so as to stop unauthenticated individuals from deciphering it. Some companies even reset the codes of domain names registered through them after a particular interval of time for even better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

If you’ve got a domain registered through us and you have a cloud web hosting account with us, getting its EPP transfer code is very easy. You won’t have to sign in and out of different Control Panels, since you can administer all your domains via the same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to administer your shared hosting account. You will see all active domain names the moment you sign in and next to the domain names whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you’ll find a small EPP icon. All it takes to get this code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain registrant’s mailbox, so if the one that you specified at first is no longer valid, you can edit it with a couple of mouse clicks from the same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you’d like to transfer any domain name that is registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another registrar, you can get its EPP transfer authorization code with a few clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domain names will be displayed in a separate Control Panel section. Quick-access controls will allow you to use different functions. To get the EPP transfer code, you just have to click on the EPP sign, which will be on the right-hand side of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with an authorization code. Our system will send the code to the domain registrant’s email address, which is presently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If you want, you can update this email from the same Control Panel section before requesting the EPP transfer authorization code. The update will propagate momentarily, so you won’t need to wait for the new email to be updated on WHOIS lookup web sites.
