If you would like to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you will need a unique domain authorization code, which may be called by multiple names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth code, a domain password, etc. All these names denote the same thing – a code that the domain registrant gets from the present domain name registrar and gives to the new one during the order process. Without a valid code, a transfer cannot be started and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unsolicited transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even better safety, the code includes numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you would like to transfer one of your domain names, you need to provide the new domain name registrar with the correct code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting
You can obtain the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain name that you have registered through our company with just a couple of mouse clicks from the exact same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your cloud web hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll find all your domain names neatly listed in alphabetical order. If some extension supports transfers between registrars with an EPP transfer code, you will notice an EPP button on the right side of the given domain. If you click on that button, the code will be sent to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain dame. If you wish, you can update the contact details, including the email, without even leaving this Control Panel section, if the currently entered email is not valid any longer.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to get its EPP transfer authentication code with just a mouse click, in case you decide to move it to some other domain registrar. All it takes to accomplish that is to sign in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be next to the domain. Of course, this button will be there only if the specific generic or country-code domain extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within sixty seconds, an email message that includes the code will be sent to the domain name owner’s email address associated with that domain. You can change the latter through the exact same Control Panel section – if the one that’s currently listed in the WHOIS database is not valid. As the change will take effect without any delay, you can request the EPP transfer code right after that.
