If you’d like to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you’ll need to go through a few safety procedures. One of them is getting a unique EPP authentication code from the current domain registrar – as long as you are the registrant, since the code is emailed to the owner's email account and nobody else can obtain it. You will need to give this code to the new registrar company, otherwise they will not be able to begin the transfer procedure. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters such as dots or commas, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy & paste the right code. As an additional security measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be altered regularly. Some domain registrars refer to this code as a domain password, a domain secret or an Auth key as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

Obtaining the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain name registered through us under a cloud web hosting account is surprisingly easy. You won’t have to switch between different interfaces, as you can manage both your domain names and your hosting account from a single location – our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. To get the EPP transfer code for any domain, you only have to visit the Registered Domains section and to click the mini EPP logo, which will be situated on the right-hand side of each domain whose extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Our system will send the code to the domain name owner’s email address right away. If you want to modify the email, you can do it from the very same section of the hosting Control Panel with just several clicks of the mouse.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to get its EPP transfer authorization code with only a mouse click, in case you decide to transfer it to some other registrar company. All it takes to do that is to sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to visit the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be to the right of the domain name. Of course, this button will be available only if the respective generic or country-code domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within one minute, an email that includes the EPP code will be sent to the domain name registrant’s email address associated with that domain name. You can change the latter through the exact same section of the Control Panel – in case the one that’s currently listed in the WHOIS register is not a valid one. Since the update will take effect without any delay, you can request the EPP code right after that.
