Transferring a domain from one company to another normally involves the use of a unique authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP key, a domain password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unsolicited transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain name registrant and is provided by the current registrar company. 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 generally comprises of numbers and special characters, so as to prevent unauthorized individuals from cracking it. Some companies even alter the codes of domain names registered through them after a particular amount of time for even better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

In case you have a domain name registered through us and you have a shared hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is remarkably easy. You won’t have to log in and out of different tools, since you can manage all your domains via the same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared hosting account. You’ll see all active domains as soon as you sign in and to the right of the domains whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred away, you’ll notice a mini EPP icon. All it takes to obtain the code is to click the icon. The code is always sent to the domain name owner’s email address, so if the one that you specified originally isn’t valid anymore, you can modify it with a few mouse clicks from the same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you would like to transfer any domain that is registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another registrar, you can get its EPP transfer authorization code with a couple of clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domains are shown in an autonomous section of the Control Panel. Quick-access buttons will permit you to use separate features. To get the EPP transfer code, you just need to click the EPP sign, which will be on the right-hand side of any domain whose extension supports transfers with a transfer authorization code. Our system will send the code to the registrant’s email address, which is currently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If you want, you can change this email from the same section of the Control Panel before requesting the transfer code. The change will propagate immediately, so you don’t have to wait for the new email address to appear on WHOIS lookup websites.
