Transferring a domain name from one company to another typically entails the use of a unique domain name authorization code, which different registrar companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a protection measure against unsolicited transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain and is provided by the current registrar. It must be given to the new domain registrar company because the transfer process cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly includes digits and special symbols, so as to hinder unauthenticated individuals from hijacking it. Certain companies even alter the codes of domain names registered through them after a particular period of time for better security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Hosting

If you have a hosting plans, you have registered a domain through us and you’d like to transfer it away from us, you can obtain its EPP authorization code with less than a couple of clicks. When you sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and navigate to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domains that you have registered with us listed alphabetically. To the right of each domain name, you’ll see a tiny EPP icon for all domain name extensions that require a code in order to be transferred between domain name registrars. Clicking the icon will send the code to the domain owner’s email address instantly. In the exact same section you can also see and eventually update the email, if the one there is no longer valid.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to obtain its EPP transfer authentication code with just one click of the mouse, if you decide to transfer it to some other domain name registrar. All it takes to accomplish that is to sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to go to the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be to the right of the domain. Of course, this button will be there only if the specific Top-Level Domain extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within one minute, an email that includes the EPP code will be sent to the domain name owner’s email address associated with that domain name. You can change the latter through the very same section of the Control Panel – if the one that is currently listed in the WHOIS details isn’t a valid one. As the change will propagate without any delay, you can request the EPP code directly after that.
