Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another traditionally entails the use of a special domain authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authentication code, a domain password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a security mechanism against unauthorized transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain and is issued by the present domain registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer procedure cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and often includes digits and special symbols, so as to impede unauthorized people from guessing it. Certain companies even alter the codes of domains registered through them every once in a while for even better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

In case you have a domain registered through our company and you have a cloud web hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP code is remarkably easy. You won’t need to switch between different admin interfaces, since you can administer all your domain names through the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared web hosting account. You’ll see all active domain names the moment you log in and on the right side of the domain names whose extensions require an EPP code in order to be transferred, you’ll find a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to get this code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain registrant’s email address, so in case the one that you shared initially is no longer valid, you can edit it with several clicks from the same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with only one click, if you decide to move it to a different company. All it takes to accomplish that is to sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, to navigate to the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be on the right-hand side of the domain name. Of course, such a button will be available only if the given Top-Level Domain extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within one minute, an email that contains the code will be sent to the domain registrant’s email account associated with that domain name. You can modify the latter through the exact same section of the Control Panel – in case the one that’s presently listed in the WHOIS archives isn’t a valid one. Since the change will propagate without any delays, you can request the EPP transfer code right after that.
