In case you wish to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you will need a unique domain authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP authorization code, an Auth code, a domain password, and so on. All these names refer to one and the same thing – a code that the domain name owner gets from the present domain registrar and provides to the new one during the order process. Without a valid code, a domain transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unsanctioned transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For greater safety, the code includes numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you have to present the new domain registrar with the right code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting
In case you have a domain name registered through our company and you’ve got a shared hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP code is stunningly easy. You will not have to sign in and out of different interfaces, since you can manage all your domain names via the same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to administer your shared web hosting account. You’ll see all existing domain names as soon as you sign in and on the right side of the domain names whose extensions require a code in order to be transferred away, you will find a small EPP icon. All it takes to obtain the code is to click the icon. The code is always sent to the domain name registrant’s email account, so in case the one that you shared initially is not valid anymore, you can update it with several mouse clicks from the same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can easily obtain the transfer code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you’d like to transfer it. This can be achieved through the very same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you won’t have to sign in and out of different tools. All you will have to do is visit the Control Panel’s domain management section and click the EPP button for the domain name that you wish to transfer, provided that its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the registrant’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the email that is currently entered is obsolete, you can update it with a couple of clicks of the mouse without needing to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
