Transferring a domain from one registrar company to another usually entails the use of a unique transfer code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a safety measure against unsolicited transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain registrant and is issued by the current domain 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 normally comprises of numbers and special characters, so as to stop unauthenticated people from hijacking it. Some companies even reset the codes of domain names registered through them every once in a while for greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Hosting

If you have a domain name registered through us and you have a hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP authentication code is astonishingly easy. You won’t need to sign in and out of different Control Panels, since you can manage all your domains via the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to administer your web hosting account. You will see all existing domains the moment you sign in and next to the domains whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you’ll find a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to get this code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain registrant’s mailbox, so in case the one that you gave originally is not valid any longer, you can edit it with a couple of clicks from the exact same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you’ll be able to obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with just a mouse click, if you decide to transfer it to another registrar. All it takes to achieve that is to sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to navigate to the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be to the right of the domain. Of course, this button will be available only if the respective generic or country-code top-level domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within one minute, an email message that includes the EPP code will be sent to the domain owner’s mailbox associated with that domain name. You can update the latter via the exact same section of the Control Panel – in case the one that’s presently listed in the WHOIS archives is not valid. As the update will propagate without any delays, you can request the EPP transfer code right after that.
