If you decide to transfer a domain from one domain registrar to another, you’ll have to go through a couple of security procedures. One of them is getting a special EPP authentication code from the current registrar – as long as you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email and nobody else can obtain it. You’ll need to provide this code to the new domain registrar, otherwise they will not be able to begin the domain name transfer. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may contain digits or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily mistyped, so make sure you copy & paste the correct code. As an extra security measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be altered on a regular basis. Some registrars call this code an Auth key, a domain secret or a domain password as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

If you’ve got a domain registered through our company and you’ve got a cloud website hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP transfer code is amazingly easy. You will not have to log in and out of different admin consoles, since you can administer all your domain names via the very same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared web hosting account. You’ll see all active domain names once you log in and on the right side of the domains whose extensions require an EPP code in order to be transferred away, you’ll see a small EPP icon. All it takes to get the code is to click on the icon. The code is always sent to the domain registrant’s email address, so if the one that you shared originally isn’t valid any longer, you can edit it with a few clicks of the mouse from the same section.

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 click, in case you decide to transfer it to another domain registrar. All it takes to accomplish that is to sign into your Hepsia Control Panel, to visit 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 specific generic or country-code domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within a minute, an email message that includes the code will be sent to the domain registrant’s email address associated with that domain name. You can edit the latter through the same Control Panel section – if the one that’s currently listed in the WHOIS archives isn’t a valid one. Since the update will propagate without any delay, you can request the EPP code immediately after that.
