Transferring a domain from one registrar company to another traditionally involves the use of a special domain name authorization code, which different companies call an EPP authentication code, a domain name password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unsanctioned transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain name owner and is provided by the present domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and typically contains digits and special characters, so as to hinder unauthenticated individuals from deciphering it. Some registrar companies even reset the codes of domain names registered through them from time to time for greater safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting
You can get the EPP transfer code for any domain that you have registered through us with just several clicks of the mouse from the same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your shared website hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you will find all your domain names neatly shown in alphabetical order. In case a certain TLD extension supports transfers between domain name registrars with an EPP transfer code, you’ll see an EPP button next to the given domain. If you click on that button, the code will be emailed to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain dame. If you wish, you can edit the contact details, including the email address, without the need to leave this Control Panel section, in case the currently entered email address is not valid any longer.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you’d like to transfer any domain name that is registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another company, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with several clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. All registered domains will be shown in a separate Control Panel section. Quick-access buttons will enable you to use different features. To get the transfer code, you just need to click on 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 email the code to the registrant’s email, which is presently listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record. If needed, you can edit this email address from the very same section of the Control Panel before requesting the transfer authorization code. The change will take effect immediately, so you do not have to wait for the new email address to be displayed on WHOIS web sites.
