Transferring a domain from one company to another normally entails the use of a unique domain name authorization code, which different registrar companies call an EPP key, a domain password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unsanctioned transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain and is provided by the present registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and usually contains numbers and special characters, so as to hinder unauthenticated people from guessing it. Certain registrars even reset the codes of domain names registered through them after a given amount of time for even greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting

In case you’ve got a domain name registered through us and you have a cloud hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is stunningly easy. You will not have to sign in and out of different admin dashboards, since you can manage all your domain names through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to administer your shared hosting account. You will see all registered domain names as soon as you sign in and on the right side of the domains whose extensions require a code in order to be transferred away, you’ll notice a small EPP icon. All it takes to get the code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the registrant’s email, so in case the one that you shared originally is not valid any longer, you can edit it with a couple of mouse clicks from the very same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can quickly obtain the transfer authorization code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you decide to transfer it. This can be done through the very same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you won’t have to go through different interfaces. All you have to do is visit the Control Panel’s domain management section and click the EPP button for the domain name that you want to transfer, on the condition that its TLD extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain name registrant’s email listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so in case the email address that is currently entered is outdated, you can modify it with a couple of clicks without the need to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
