In case you’d like to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you’ll need a unique transfer code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names refer to the exact same thing – a code that the domain registrant gets from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without an authentic code, a domain transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety measures against unsanctioned transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even better security, the code includes numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you wish to transfer one of your domain names, you have to provide the new domain name registrar with the correct code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting
In case you’ve got a domain registered through us and you’ve got a shared hosting account with us, getting its EPP code is surprisingly easy. You will not have to log in and out of different platforms, as you can administer all your domains via the very same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared web hosting account. You’ll see all active domain names the moment you sign in and to the right of the domain names whose extensions require an EPP authorization code in order to be transferred away, you’ll notice a small EPP icon. All it takes to obtain that code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain registrant’s mailbox, so if the one that you specified initially isn’t 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 easily obtain the transfer authorization code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you want to transfer it away. This can be accomplished through the exact same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you will not have to switch between different user interfaces. All you will have to do is go to the Control Panel’s domain management section and click the EPP button for the domain that you would like to transfer, as long as its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain owner’s email listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so in case the address that is currently listed is obsolete, you can modify it with a few clicks without having to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
