If you’d like to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you will need to go through a few security procedures. One of them is obtaining a special EPP authentication code from the present registrar company – as long as you are the registrant, since the code is emailed to the domain owner’s email and no one else can obtain it. You’ll need to give this code to the new domain name registrar, otherwise they won’t be able to start the domain transfer procedure. The EPP codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of numbers or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily mistyped, so make sure you copy & paste the correct code. As an additional safety measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be reset on a regular basis. Some companies refer to this code as a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you’ve got a domain registered through us and you have a cloud hosting account with us, getting its EPP code is stunningly easy. You won’t need to sign in and out of different Control Panel tools, as you can manage all your domain names through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to administer your hosting account. You will see all existing domains once you log in and to the right of the domain names whose extensions require a code in order to be transferred, you’ll notice a small EPP icon. All it takes to get that code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain name registrant’s email, so in case the one that you shared originally is not valid any longer, you can change it with a few clicks from the exact same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to get its EPP transfer authentication code with only one single mouse click, if you decide to move it to another company. All it takes to accomplish that is to sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be next to the domain name. Of course, such a button will be available only if the specific generic or country-code top-level domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within a minute, an email message that includes the EPP code will be sent to the domain name registrant’s mailbox associated with that domain. You can change the latter through the same section of the Control Panel – in case the one that is presently listed in the WHOIS archives is not a valid one. As the update will propagate without any delays, you can request the EPP transfer code directly after that.
