If you would like to transfer a domain from one domain registrar to another, you’ll need to go through a couple of security procedures. One of them is getting a unique EPP authentication code from the present domain registrar – on the condition that you are the registrant, since the code is emailed to the owner's email address and no one else can obtain it. You’ll need to provide this code to the new registrar company, otherwise they will not be able to begin the domain transfer. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may include digits or special symbols such as dots or commas, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy/paste the correct code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain may be changed regularly. Certain domain registrars call this code an Auth key, a domain password or a domain secret as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

If you’ve got a domain name registered through our company and you have a shared hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is astonishingly easy. You will not need to sign in and out of different Control Panel tools, as 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 existing domains once you sign in and to the right of the domain names whose extensions require an EPP authorization code in order to be transferred away, you’ll find a mini EPP icon. All it takes to obtain the code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the registrant’s mailbox, so in case the one that you specified initially is not valid any longer, you can modify it with a few clicks of the mouse from the same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you want to transfer any domain that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another domain name registrar, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with a couple of clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. All registered domains will be shown in an independent Control Panel section. Quick-access buttons will permit you to use separate features. To get the transfer code, you just have to click the EPP button, which will be on the right-hand side of any domain whose extension supports transfers with a transfer authorization code. Our system will email the code to the domain registrant’s email, which is presently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If needed, you can change this email from the exact same Control Panel section before requesting the EPP transfer authorization code. The update will take effect instantly, so you do not need to wait for the new email address to be displayed on WHOIS web sites.
