If you would like to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you’ll need to go through a few security steps. One of them is getting a unique EPP code from the present domain registrar – as long as you are the domain registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email address and no one else can obtain it. You have to give this code to the new registrar company, otherwise they will not be able to start the domain transfer procedure. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may include digits or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy and paste the right code. As an additional protection measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain name may be changed on a regular basis. Certain registrar companies refer to this code as a domain password, a domain secret or an Auth key as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting

In case you have a domain name registered through our company and you have a shared web hosting account with us, getting its EPP code is exceptionally easy. You will not need to log in and out of different systems, since you can administer all your domains through the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You will see all existing domain names as soon as you sign in and to the right of the domain names whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you will find a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to get the code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain name registrant’s email account, so in case the one that you gave at first isn’t valid anymore, you can change it with a couple of mouse clicks from the very same section.
