Transferring a domain from one company to another typically involves the use of a special transfer authorization code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authentication code, a domain name password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a security mechanism against unwanted transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain and is provided by the present registrar company. It must be given to the new domain registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly contains numbers and special characters, so as to prevent unauthorized individuals from hijacking it. Certain domain name registrars even change the codes of domain names registered through them every now and then for even greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

You can obtain the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain name that you have registered through us with just several mouse clicks from the same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your cloud web hosting account. As soon as you go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll find all your domain names conveniently listed in alphabetical order. In case a certain TLD extension supports transfers between registrars with an EPP code, you’ll see an EPP button on the right side of the given domain. If you click on that button, the code will be emailed to the email address 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 needing to leave this section of the Control Panel, if the currently entered email address isn’t valid anymore.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to get its EPP transfer authorization code with only one single mouse click, in case you decide to move it to a different company. All it takes to accomplish that is to log into your Hepsia 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, this button will be there only if the given domain extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within sixty seconds, an email that includes the EPP code will be sent to the registrant’s email address associated with that domain. You can change the latter through the very same section of the Control Panel – in case the one that’s presently listed in the WHOIS archives isn’t valid. Since the update will take effect without delay, you can request the EPP code immediately after that.
