Transferring a domain name from one company to another commonly involves the use of a special domain authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a security measure against unwanted transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain name and is provided by the present registrar company. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and normally contains numbers and special symbols, so as to obstruct unauthorized persons from hijacking it. Some domain registrars even change the codes of domains registered through them after a given interval of time for even greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Website Hosting

In case you’ve got a domain registered through our company and you’ve got a website hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP transfer code is astonishingly easy. You won’t need to switch between different admin dashboards, since you can manage all your domain names through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You’ll see all active domains the moment you log in and to the right of the domains whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you’ll find a small EPP icon. All it takes to obtain this code is to click the icon. The code is always sent to the domain name registrant’s mailbox, so if the one that you shared originally isn’t valid any longer, you can modify it with a few clicks of the mouse from the exact same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can effortlessly obtain the transfer authorization code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you’d like to transfer it away. This can be achieved through the same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you will not have to sign in and out of different admin panels. All you will need to do is go to the domain management section of the Control Panel and click on the EPP button for the domain that you want to transfer, on the condition that its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the registrant’s email address listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so in case the email address that is currently entered is outdated, you can change it with a couple of clicks without needing to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
