Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another generally involves the use of a special transfer code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authentication code, a domain password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unauthorized transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the domain registrant and is provided by the current domain registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer procedure cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and typically includes digits and special characters, so as to prevent unauthenticated people from cracking it. Certain registrars even alter the codes of domain names registered through them after a certain period of time for better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you have a Linux cloud hosting packages, you have registered a domain with us and you wish to transfer it away from us, you can obtain its EPP authentication code with less than a few mouse clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and navigate to the Registered Domains section, you will see all the domains that you have registered with us shown in alphabetical order. Next to each domain, you’ll notice a mini EPP icon for all top-level domain name extensions that require an EPP code in order to be transferred between registrar companies. Clicking the icon will send the code to the domain name owner’s email instantly. In the exact same section you can also see and eventually edit the email address, if the one there is not valid any longer.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can effortlessly obtain the transfer authorization code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you want to transfer it away. This can be accomplished through the same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you will not have to go through different systems. All you need to do is visit the Control Panel’s domain management section and click the EPP button for the domain name that you wish to transfer, provided that its TLD extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the registrant’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the email that is currently listed is out of date, you can edit it with several clicks without needing to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
