Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another normally involves the use of a special transfer code, which different companies refer to as an EPP key, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a security measure against unapproved transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain name and is provided by the present domain registrar company. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly comprises of digits and special characters, so as to obstruct unauthorized individuals from deciphering it. Certain companies even change the codes of domain names registered through them after a certain amount of time for even greater safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting
In case you’ve got a shared hosting, you have registered a domain through our company and you wish to transfer it, you can get its EPP transfer code with less than a few clicks of the mouse. When you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domains that you’ve registered with our company shown alphabetically. Next to each domain name, you’ll see a tiny EPP icon for all generic and country-code Top-Level Domain extensions that require an EPP code in order to be transferred between domain registrars. Clicking the icon will send the EPP code to the domain owner’s email immediately. In the same section you can also find and ultimately modify the email, if the one there is not valid any longer.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you’d like to transfer any domain name that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another domain registrar, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with a few clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. All registered domain names will be shown in an independent Control Panel section. Quick-access buttons will enable you to use different features. To get the transfer code, you only have to click the EPP icon, which will be to the right of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with an authorization code. Our system will email the code to the domain name registrant’s email, which is currently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If you wish, you can change this email address from the very same Control Panel section before requesting the EPP transfer authorization code. The update will take effect straight away, so you do not have to wait for the new email address to be shown on WHOIS websites.
