If you wish to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you will have to go through a couple of safety procedures. One of them is getting a special EPP authentication code from the present domain registrar – provided that you are the domain registrant, since the code is sent to the domain owner’s email account and nobody else can get it. You will have to give this code to the new registrar, or else they will not be able to start the domain name transfer process. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may include digits or special symbols such as dots or commas, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy & paste the right code. As an additional safety measure, the transfer code for a domain may be changed on a regular basis. Certain registrars refer to this code as a domain secret, a domain password or an Auth key as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting

In case you’ve got a domain name registered through our company and you’ve got a cloud hosting account with us, getting its EPP authorization code is surprisingly easy. You will not need to log in and out of different user interfaces, as you can administer all your domain names via the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to administer your shared hosting account. You’ll see all existing domain names once you sign in and to the right of the domains whose extensions require an EPP transfer code in order to be transferred, you’ll find a small EPP icon. All it takes to obtain that code is to click on the icon. The code is always sent to the domain name owner’s email, so if the one that you specified at first is not valid anymore, you can update it with a couple of mouse clicks from the same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can swiftly get the transfer authorization code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you’d like to transfer it away. This can be achieved through the very 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 have to do is go to the domain management section of the Control Panel and click on the EPP button associated with the domain that you would like to transfer, on the condition that its extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain owner’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so in case the email address that is currently listed is outdated, you can update it with several mouse clicks without needing to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
