Transferring a domain from one registrar company to another traditionally involves the use of a special domain name authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a protection measure against unsanctioned transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain and is provided by the present domain registrar company. It must be given to the new domain registrar company because the transfer cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and generally includes digits and special symbols, so as to hinder unauthorized individuals from deciphering it. Some registrar companies even reset the codes of domains registered through them periodically for even greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Hosting

In case you have a domain registered through us and you’ve got a hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP code is really easy. You will not have to switch between different systems, as you can administer all your domains through the exact same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You’ll see all registered domain names as soon as you sign in and on the right side of the domains whose extensions require an EPP transfer code in order to be transferred, you’ll see a small EPP icon. All it takes to get that 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 The code is always emailed to the domain registrant’s email address, so in case the one that you gave at first is no longer valid, you can change it with a few mouse clicks from the exact same section.
