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.
