In case you wish to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you’ll need a unique transfer code, which may be called by many names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth code, a domain name password, etc. All these names designate the same thing – a code that the domain name registrant gets from the current domain registrar and provides to the new one at the time of the order. Without a genuine code, a domain transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection measures against unwanted transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For greater security, the code comprises of numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you would like to transfer one of your domains, you have to provide the new company with the right code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Website Hosting
Obtaining the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain registered through us under a cloud website hosting account is remarkably easy. You will not need to switch between different admin panels, as you can administer both your domain names and your hosting account from the very same location – our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To get the transfer code for any domain name, you just need to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the mini EPP sign, which will be situated next to any domain whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will email the code to the registrant’s email straight away. In case you want to modify the email, you can do it from the exact same section of the Control Panel with only several mouse clicks.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you’ve registered a domain name that you wish to transfer, you can obtain the EPP transfer code surprisingly easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll manage both your account and your domain names. If you visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll notice an EPP symbol on the right side of your domains, on the condition that their extensions support transfers between domain registrars with such a code. All codes are sent automatically by our system to the registrant’s email to make sure that only the domain owner can receive this information. In case the currently listed email is not valid any longer, you can change it with several clicks without the need to leave this Control Panel section. The update is instant, so you’ll be able to request the EPP transfer code for the respective domain straight away.
