If you want to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you will have to go through a couple of safety procedures. One of them is obtaining a unique EPP authorization code from the current domain name registrar – on the condition that you are the domain registrant, since the code is sent to the domain owner’s email and no one else can see it. You need to give this code to the new registrar company, or else they will not be able to initiate the transfer procedure. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may include numbers or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily mistyped, so make sure you copy/paste the right code. As an extra safety measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be altered on a regular basis. Some registrar companies refer to this code as a domain secret, a domain password or an Auth key as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Hosting
You can obtain the EPP transfer code for any domain name that you have registered through us with only a couple of mouse clicks from the very same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to administer your hosting account. As soon as you go to the Registered Domains section, you will find all your domains neatly listed in alphabetical order. In case a certain TLD extension supports transfers between registrars with an EPP transfer code, you will notice an EPP button next to the respective domain name. If you click on that button, the code will be sent to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the domain name in question. If you wish, you can edit the contact details, including the email address, without the need to leave this Control Panel section, if the currently entered email isn’t valid anymore.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can swiftly obtain the transfer authentication code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you want to transfer it away. This can be accomplished through the very same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you won’t have to switch between different interfaces. All you will have to do is visit the domain management section of the Control Panel and click the EPP button for the domain name that you would like to transfer, as long as its extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain name registrant’s email listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the address that is currently listed is obsolete, you can modify it with a few clicks without having to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
