If you’d like to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you will need a unique transfer authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP key, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, etc. All these names designate the exact same thing – a code that the domain name owner gets from the current domain registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without an authentic code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the protection measures against unwanted transfers used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even better security, the code comprises of numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you want to transfer one of your domain names, you need to present the new domain name registrar with the right code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting
If you’ve got a domain registered through our company and you have a cloud web hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is surprisingly easy. You won’t need to switch between different Control Panel tools, since you can manage all your domain names via the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You’ll see all registered domains as soon as you log in and to the right of the domains whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you will see a mini EPP icon. All it takes to obtain this code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the registrant’s email address, so if the one that you shared initially is no longer valid, you can change it with a few clicks from the very same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can swiftly obtain the transfer authorization code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you’d like to transfer it. This can be done through the very same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you will not have to switch between different user interfaces. All you need to do is go to the Control Panel’s domain management section and click on the EPP button for the domain name that you would like to transfer, provided that its extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain name owner’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so in case the address that is currently entered is out of date, you can update it with a couple of clicks of the mouse without having to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
