If you decide to transfer a domain from one domain registrar to another, you’ll need to pass through a few security steps. One of them is getting a unique EPP authentication code from the current domain name registrar – on the condition that you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the domain owner’s email and nobody else can see it. You need to provide this code to the new registrar, otherwise they will not be able to initiate the domain transfer procedure. The EPP codes are case-sensitive and may include numbers or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy/paste the right code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain name may be changed on a regular basis. Certain companies refer to this code as a domain secret, a domain password or an Auth key as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting

You can obtain the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain name that you’ve registered through us with only a couple of clicks of the mouse from the very same Hepsia Control Panel that you will use to administer your cloud hosting account. Once you visit the Registered Domains section, you will see all your domains neatly listed in alphabetical order. In case a certain extension supports transfers between registrars with an EPP code, you will see an EPP button next to the respective domain name. If you click that button, the code will be emailed to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain dame. If you wish, you can update the contact information, including the email address, without needing to leave this Control Panel section, if the currently entered email address is no longer valid.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can easily obtain the transfer code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you’d like to transfer it away. This can be done through the exact same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you won’t have to sign in and out of different admin consoles. All you have to do is go to the Control Panel’s domain management section and click the EPP button associated with the domain name that you would like to transfer, provided that its extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain name owner’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so in case the email address that is currently entered is obsolete, you can modify it with a few mouse clicks without needing to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
