If you would like to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you will need to pass through several security procedures. One of them is obtaining a special EPP authentication code from the current domain registrar – provided that you are the registrant, since the code is emailed to the owner's email account and no one else can obtain it. You will have to provide this code to the new domain registrar, otherwise they will not be able to start the domain name transfer procedure. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may contain numbers or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy/paste the correct code. As an extra safety measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be changed on a regular basis. Certain domain name registrars refer to this code as a domain password, a domain secret or an Auth key as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

Obtaining the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain registered through us under a cloud web hosting account is really easy. You will not need to sign in and out of different user interfaces, as you can manage both your domain names and your shared hosting account from one and the same place – our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To get the EPP transfer code for any domain, you just need to visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the tiny EPP symbol, which will be situated to the right of any domain whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will email the code to the domain name owner’s email right away. In case you would like to edit the email, you can do it from the same section of the Control Panel with only several clicks.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to get its EPP transfer authentication code with just a click of the mouse, in case you decide to move it to another registrar company. All it takes to do that is to log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to navigate to the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be to the right of the domain name. Of course, this button will be available only if the given generic or country-code domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within sixty seconds, an email that includes the code will be sent to the domain name registrant’s email account associated with that domain name. You can modify the latter through the same section of the Control Panel – if the one that’s currently listed in the WHOIS details isn’t valid. Since the change will propagate without any delay, you can request the EPP transfer code immediately after that.
