If you decide to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you’ll have to go through a couple of security steps. One of them is obtaining a unique EPP authorization code from the present domain registrar – on the condition that you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's mailbox and nobody else can see it. You’ll need to provide this code to the new domain registrar, or else they won’t be able to initiate the transfer procedure. The EPP codes are case-sensitive and may include numbers or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy & paste the right code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain name may be altered on a regular basis. Some domain registrars call this code a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

Getting the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain name registered through us under a cloud website hosting account is amazingly easy. You won’t need to log in and out of different admin consoles, since you can administer both your domains and your shared hosting account from one single location – our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To get the EPP transfer code for any domain name, you simply have to visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the mini EPP symbol, which will be located on the right-hand side of any domain whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will send the code to the registrant’s email address instantaneously. In case you want to edit the email, you can do it from the very same section of the hosting Control Panel with just a couple of mouse clicks.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to get its EPP transfer authorization code with only a click of the mouse, if you decide to move it to some other registrar. All it takes to do that is to log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, to visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be next to the domain. Of course, such a button will be there only if the specific generic or country-code domain extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within 60 seconds, an email message that contains the EPP code will be sent to the domain owner’s email address associated with that domain name. You can edit the latter via the very same Control Panel section – in case the one that is currently listed in the WHOIS database isn’t a valid one. As the update will propagate without any delay, you can request the EPP code directly after that.
