If you decide to transfer a domain from one registrar company to another, you’ll have to pass through several safety steps. One of them is obtaining a special EPP code from the present registrar company – provided that you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email and no one else can get it. You need to give this code to the new registrar company, or else they won’t be able to start the domain name transfer procedure. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of numbers 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 protection measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain name may be reset regularly. Certain domain name registrars call this code an Auth key, a domain password or a domain secret as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting

You can obtain the EPP transfer code for any domain that you’ve registered with us with just a couple of mouse clicks from the same Hepsia Control Panel that you will use to manage your shared web hosting account. Once you visit the Registered Domains section, you will find all your domains neatly listed in alphabetical order. In case a particular TLD extension supports transfers between domain registrars with an EPP code, you’ll see an EPP button next to the respective domain. If you click that button, the code will be emailed to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the domain name in question. If you want, you can modify the contact details, including the email address, without needing to leave this section of the Control Panel, if the currently listed email address isn’t valid anymore.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can quickly get the transfer authorization code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you’d like to transfer it. This can be achieved through the same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you won’t have to switch between different tools. All you have to do is go to the domain management section of the Control Panel and click on the EPP button for the domain that you wish to transfer, as long as its TLD extension supports transfers with a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the registrant’s email listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the email address that is currently entered is outdated, you can update it with a couple of mouse clicks without even leaving the domain management section of the Control Panel.
