Transferring a domain from one company to another traditionally entails the use of a special authorization code, which different registrar companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unauthorized transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain and is issued by the current registrar. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and ordinarily includes digits and special symbols, so as to obstruct unauthorized people from hijacking it. Some domain name registrars even reset the codes of domains registered through them after a given period of time for better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Hosting

Obtaining the EPP transfer code for any domain name registered through us under a hosting account is exceptionally easy. You won’t have to sign in and out of different Control Panel tools, as you can administer both your domain names and your shared web hosting account from the same location – our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To get the transfer code for any domain name, you just have to go to the Registered Domains section and to click the tiny EPP sign, which will be situated to the right of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Our system will email the code to the domain owner’s email instantly. In case you want to modify the email, you can do it from the very same section of the hosting Control Panel with only a couple of mouse clicks.

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 authorization code with only one click, in case you decide to move it to another domain registrar. All it takes to achieve that is to sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to go to the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be to the right of the domain. Of course, such a button will be available only if the particular domain extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within a minute, an email that contains the code will be sent to the domain owner’s email account associated with that domain name. You can change the latter via the same Control Panel section – in case the one that is presently listed in the WHOIS details isn’t a valid one. As the update will take effect without delay, you can request the EPP transfer code immediately after that.
