If you would like to transfer a domain from one registrar company to another, you will have to go through several safety procedures. One of them is obtaining a unique EPP authentication code from the present domain name registrar – on the condition that you are the registrant, since the code is emailed to the domain owner’s mailbox and nobody else can see it. You’ll have to give this code to the new domain registrar, or else they will not be able to begin the domain transfer process. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may include numbers or special characters such as dots or commas, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy & paste the right code. As an additional protection measure, the transfer code for a domain may be changed on a regular basis. Some registrar companies call this code a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting

Getting the EPP transfer code for any domain registered through our company under a shared web hosting account is exceptionally easy. You will not need to log in and out of different admin interfaces, as you can administer both your domain names and your hosting account from the very same location – our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To obtain the transfer code for any domain, you just need to visit the Registered Domains section and to click the small EPP symbol, which will be situated next to any domain name whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will send the code to the domain registrant’s email momentarily. If you want to edit the email, you can do it from the same section of the Control Panel with only a couple of clicks of the mouse.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to obtain its EPP transfer authentication code with only a mouse click, if you decide to move it to some other registrar company. All it takes to achieve that is to sign into your Hepsia Control Panel, to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be on the right-hand side of the domain name. Of course, such a button will be available only if the specific generic or country-code domain extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within one minute, an email message that contains the EPP code will be sent to the registrant’s email account associated with that domain. You can modify the latter via the very same section of the Control Panel – if the one that is currently listed in the WHOIS register is not a valid one. Since the update will propagate without delay, you can request the EPP transfer code right after that.
