Transferring a domain name from one company to another traditionally entails the use of a unique transfer authorization code, which different companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a safety measure against unapproved transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain owner and is provided by the current registrar. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and often includes numbers and special symbols, so as to obstruct unauthenticated people from cracking it. Some domain name registrars even reset the codes of domain names registered through them after a certain amount of time for even better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

If you have a Linux shared packages, you’ve registered a domain name through our company and you would like to transfer it, you can get its EPP authorization code with less than a couple of mouse clicks. When you sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domain names that you have registered through our company displayed alphabetically. On the right-hand side of each domain name, you’ll notice a mini EPP icon for all domain extensions that need an EPP code in order to be transferred between registrar companies. Clicking on the icon will email the EPP code to the domain name registrant’s email address momentarily. In the same section you can also find and eventually update the email address, if the one there is no longer valid.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you wish to transfer any domain that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another registrar, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with a couple of mouse clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domains are listed in a separate section of the Control Panel. Quick-access controls will enable you to use separate features. To obtain the transfer code, you simply need to click on the EPP button, which will be to the right of any domain whose TLD extension supports transfers with an authorization code. Our system will email the code to the domain name owner’s email address, which is currently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If needed, you can update this email from the very same section of the Control Panel before requesting the transfer code. The update will take effect straight away, so you won’t need to wait for the new email address to show up on WHOIS websites.
