Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another commonly involves the use of a unique transfer authorization 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 protection mechanism against unauthorized transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain name and is provided by the current 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 usually comprises of numbers and special characters, so as to impede unauthorized persons from breaking it. Certain registrars even alter the codes of domains registered through them after a certain amount of time for even better security.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting
You can obtain the EPP transfer code for any domain name that you have registered with us with only several mouse clicks from the exact same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to administer your cloud hosting account. As soon as you go to the Registered Domains section, you will see all your domain names neatly listed in alphabetical order. If some TLD extension supports transfers between domain registrars with an EPP code, you’ll see an EPP button to the right of the given domain name. If you click on that button, the code will be sent to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the domain name in question. If you wish, you can edit the contact information, including the email, without having to leave this section of the Control Panel, in case the currently entered email address isn’t valid any longer.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us and you have registered a domain name that you wish to transfer, you can obtain the EPP transfer authorization code extremely easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you will manage both your account and your domains. If you visit the Registered Domains section, you will find an EPP logo to the right of your domain names, as long as their extensions support transfers between registrar companies with such a code. All codes are sent automatically by our system to the registrant’s email address to ensure that only the domain name owner can obtain this information. If the currently listed email address isn’t valid any longer, you can change it with several clicks without leaving this Control Panel section. The change is instantaneous, so you will be able to request the EPP transfer code for the respective domain name straight away.
