In case you want to transfer a domain from one domain registrar to another, you will need a special transfer code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, and so on. All these names designate the exact same thing – a code that the domain owner gets from the current domain name registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without a valid code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unauthorized transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even better security, the code comprises of digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you would like to transfer one of your domains, you have to supply the new registrar with the right code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Website Hosting
You can get the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain that you have registered with us with only a couple of clicks of the mouse from the very same Hepsia Control Panel that you will use to manage your cloud website hosting account. As soon as you go to the Registered Domains section, you will see all your domain names conveniently listed in alphabetical order. In case some TLD extension supports transfers between registrar companies with an EPP code, you will see an EPP button to the right of the given domain. If you click that button, the code will be sent to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the domain in question. If needed, you can update the contact information, including the email address, without needing to leave this Control Panel section, in case the currently listed email address is not valid any longer.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you’ve registered a domain name that you wish to transfer, you can get the EPP transfer code really easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you will manage both your account and your domains. If you go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll notice an EPP logo to the right of your domain names, as long as their TLD extensions support transfers between domain name registrars with such a code. All codes are emailed automatically by our system to the registrant’s email to make sure that only the domain name owner can get this info. If the current address is no longer valid, you can change it with a couple of clicks without leaving this Control Panel section. The change is instantaneous, so you will be able to request the EPP code for the specific domain name straight away.
