In case you’d like to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you will need a unique domain authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names refer to the exact same thing – a code that the domain registrant obtains from the present registrar and gives to the new one at the time of the order. Without a genuine code, a domain name transfer process cannot be started and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unapproved transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For better security, the code comprises of numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you wish to transfer one of your domains, you need to present the new domain registrar with the right code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting
You can obtain the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain name that you’ve registered with us with just a couple of mouse clicks from the exact same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your shared web hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you will see all your domain names conveniently displayed in alphabetical order. In case a particular TLD extension supports transfers between domain registrars with an EPP code, you’ll see an EPP button next to the respective domain. If you click that button, the code will be emailed to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain dame. If you wish, you can modify the contact information, including the email, without the need to leave this section of the Control Panel, in case the currently listed email address is not valid any longer.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to obtain its EPP transfer authentication code with only one single mouse click, in case you decide to move it to a different company. All it takes to achieve that is to sign into 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 available only if the specific generic or country-code Top-Level Domain extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within one minute, an email message that includes the code will be sent to the domain name owner’s email address associated with that domain name. You can update the latter via the same Control Panel section – if the one that is presently listed in the WHOIS register isn’t valid. Since the change will take effect without delay, you can request the EPP transfer code immediately after that.
