If you wish to transfer a domain from one domain registrar to another, you’ll need a special transfer authorization code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP authorization code, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, etc. All these names designate one and the same thing – a code that the domain name registrant receives from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without an authentic code, a transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the security mechanisms against unauthorized transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For better security, the code includes digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you would like to transfer one of your domains, you need to supply the new company with the right code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting
In case you have a Linux shared web hosting, you have registered a domain name with our company and you’d like to transfer it away from us, you can obtain its EPP authorization code with no more than several mouse clicks. When you sign in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domains that you’ve registered with our company listed alphabetically. Next to each domain, you will notice a mini EPP icon for all top-level domain name extensions that require an EPP code in order to be transferred between domain registrars. Clicking on the icon will send the code to the domain name owner’s email straight away. In the exact same section you can also find and ultimately edit the email, if the one there is not valid any longer.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with only one single click of the mouse, in case you decide to move it to a different company. All it takes to achieve that is to log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be to the right of the domain name. Of course, such a button will be available only if the particular gTLD or ccTLD extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within one minute, an email that includes the EPP code will be sent to the domain name registrant’s mailbox associated with that domain. You can edit the latter via the same section of the Control Panel – in case the one that’s currently listed in the WHOIS register is not valid. Since the update will propagate without any delays, you can request the EPP code right after that.
