If you wish to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you’ll need a special transfer authorization code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP key, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, etc. All these names refer to one and the same thing – a code that the domain name owner receives from the current domain name registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without a genuine code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unwanted transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater safety, the code includes digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you wish to transfer one of your domains, you have to provide the new registrar company with the correct code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Website Hosting
If you’ve got a domain registered through our company and you have a website hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is remarkably easy. You will not have to switch between different Control Panels, as you can administer all your domain names via the same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared hosting account. You’ll see all registered domain names once you sign in and next to the domains whose extensions require a code in order to be transferred, you’ll see a mini EPP icon. All it takes to obtain the code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain registrant’s email address, so if the one that you specified originally isn’t valid any longer, you can update it with a couple of clicks from the exact same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you want to transfer any domain that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another registrar, you can get its EPP transfer authorization code with a few clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. All registered domain names will be displayed in a different section of the Control Panel. Quick-access controls will enable you to use different functions. To obtain the EPP transfer code, you simply have to click the EPP icon, which will be on the right-hand side of any domain whose extension supports transfers with an authorization code. Our system will send the code to the domain registrant’s email, which is currently listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record. If needed, you can update this email address from the very same section of the Control Panel before requesting the transfer code. The change will take effect immediately, so you won’t need to wait for the new email to appear on WHOIS websites.
