Transferring a domain name from one company to another typically involves the use of a unique transfer authorization code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unsanctioned transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain and is issued by the current registrar company. It must be given to the new domain registrar company because the transfer cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and often includes digits and special symbols, so as to stop unauthenticated people from deciphering it. Some companies even alter the codes of domain names registered through them periodically for even greater safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting
In case you’ve got a domain registered through our company and you have a cloud hosting account with us, getting its EPP code is stunningly easy. You won’t need to sign in and out of different admin dashboards, since you can manage all your domain names through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared web hosting account. You will see all active domains as soon as you sign in and on the right side of the domain names whose extensions require a code in order to be transferred, you’ll notice a small EPP icon. All it takes to get the code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain name owner’s email, so if the one that you shared at first is not valid any longer, you can edit it with a few mouse clicks from the same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to obtain its EPP transfer code with just a click of the mouse, if you decide to move it to a different company. All it takes to do 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 on the right-hand side of the domain. Of course, such a button will be there only if the given generic or country-code TLD extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within sixty seconds, an email that contains the EPP code will be sent to the domain name registrant’s email account associated with that domain name. You can change the latter via the same Control Panel section – if the one that is currently listed in the WHOIS archives isn’t valid. Since the change will propagate without any delays, you can request the EPP transfer code right after that.
