Transferring a domain from one registrar company to another generally involves the use of a special authorization code, which different companies call an EPP key, a domain password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a protection measure against unwanted transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the domain registrant and is issued by the present domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer process cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly contains numbers and special symbols, so as to hinder unauthorized persons from hijacking it. Certain domain registrars even alter the codes of domains registered through them every now and then for better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

If you have a domain registered through us and you’ve got a cloud web hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP transfer code is remarkably easy. You will not have to log in and out of different admin interfaces, as you can manage all your domain names through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You will see all active domain names once you log in and next to the domains whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you’ll find a mini EPP icon. All it takes to obtain the code is to click on the icon. The code is always sent to the registrant’s email account, so in case the one that you gave originally is not valid anymore, you can edit it with a couple of mouse clicks from the very same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can effortlessly obtain the transfer code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you want to transfer it away. This can be done through the exact same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you won’t have to sign in and out of different Control Panel tools. All you will need to do is visit the domain management section of the Control Panel and click on the EPP button for the domain that you would like to transfer, on the condition that its TLD extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain name registrant’s email address listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so in case the email that is currently listed is out of date, you can update it with a few clicks without having to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
