If you want to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you will need to go through a few safety procedures. One of them is obtaining a special EPP code from the current domain name registrar – provided that you are the domain registrant, since the code is emailed to the owner's email address and no one else can see it. You need to provide this code to the new registrar, otherwise they will not be able to initiate the transfer. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may include numbers or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy and paste the correct code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain name may be changed on a regular basis. Certain domain name registrars refer to this code as a domain secret, an Auth key or a domain password as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

You can obtain the EPP transfer code for any domain name that you have registered through us with just several mouse clicks from the same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to administer your cloud website hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you will see all your domain names conveniently displayed in alphabetical order. In case some TLD extension supports transfers between domain registrars with an EPP transfer code, you’ll see an EPP button next to the respective domain name. If you click that button, the code will be emailed to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the domain name in question. If needed, you can update the contact information, including the email, without having to leave this section of the Control Panel, in case the currently listed email isn’t valid any longer.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account with us and you’ve registered a domain name that you’d like to transfer, you can obtain the EPP transfer authorization code really easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll manage both your account and your domains. If you visit the Registered Domains section, you will find an EPP icon next to your domain names, provided that their TLD extensions support transfers between registrar companies with such a code. All codes are sent automatically by our system to the registrant’s email to make sure that only the owner of the domain can get this info. If the current email address is not valid, you can edit it with several clicks of the mouse without leaving this Control Panel section. The update is instant, so you will be able to request the EPP code for the particular domain name right away.
