Transferring a domain from one company to another typically involves the use of a special authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unwanted transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain name owner and is issued by the current domain registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer process cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and normally comprises of numbers and special symbols, so as to prevent unauthenticated persons from guessing it. Some registrars even reset the codes of domains registered through them once in a while for greater safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting
If you have a Linux cloud hosting, you’ve registered a domain through us and you’d like to transfer it, you can get its EPP authorization code with no more than a few clicks of the mouse. When you sign into your Hepsia Control Panel and go to the Registered Domains section, you will see all the domain names that you’ve registered through us listed alphabetically. On the right-hand side of each domain, you will see a tiny EPP icon for all Top-Level Domain extensions that require an EPP code in order to be transferred between companies. Clicking the icon will send the EPP code to the registrant’s email straight away. In the same section you can also see and eventually modify the email address, if the one there isn’t valid anymore.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can swiftly obtain the transfer authentication code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you want to transfer it away. This can be achieved through the exact same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you won’t have to switch between different tools. All you will have to do is go to the Control Panel’s domain management section and click on the EPP button associated with the domain that you would like to transfer, as long as its TLD extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain owner’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the email that is currently entered is outdated, you can modify it with a couple of clicks without the need to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
