Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another generally involves the use of a unique authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a security mechanism against unauthorized transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain name owner and is issued by the current domain registrar company. It must be given to the new domain registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and traditionally includes digits and special symbols, so as to hinder unauthorized individuals from hijacking it. Some companies even change the codes of domains registered through them after a given period of time for even better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

You can get the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain name that you have registered with us with only several mouse clicks from the exact same Hepsia Control Panel that you will use to manage your shared hosting account. As soon as you go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all your domains conveniently shown in alphabetical order. If some extension supports transfers between domain name registrars with an EPP code, you will notice an EPP button to the right of the respective domain name. If you click on that button, the code will be emailed to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain dame. If you wish, you can edit the contact details, including the email address, without the need to leave this Control Panel section, in case the currently listed email is no longer valid.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can quickly obtain the transfer code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you want to transfer it. This can be done through the exact same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you will not have to sign in and out of different admin interfaces. All you have to do is visit the Control Panel’s domain management section and click the EPP button for the domain name that you want to transfer, as long as its extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain name owner’s email listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so in case the address that is currently entered is out of date, you can modify it with a few clicks without needing to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
