Transferring a domain name from one company to another generally entails the use of a special authorization code, which different registrar companies refer to as an EPP key, a domain name password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a security mechanism against unsolicited transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain owner and is issued by the current registrar. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly includes numbers and special characters, so as to prevent unauthorized persons from deciphering it. Certain domain registrars even alter the codes of domains registered through them after a given interval of time for greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

In case you have a domain registered through us and you have a shared hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP transfer code is incredibly easy. You will not have to sign in and out of different admin dashboards, since you can administer all your domain names via the same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to administer your shared web hosting account. You will see all existing domain names the moment you log in and on the right side of the domain names whose extensions require a code in order to be transferred away, you will see a mini EPP icon. All it takes to obtain this code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain owner’s mailbox, so in case the one that you gave initially isn’t valid any longer, you can modify it with a few clicks from the exact same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you have registered a domain name that you’d like to transfer, you can obtain the EPP transfer code exceptionally easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you will administer both your domains and your account. If you go to the Registered Domains section, you will see an EPP symbol to the right of your domains, on the condition that their TLD extensions support transfers between registrars with such a code. All codes are emailed automatically by our system to the registrant’s email to make sure that only the owner of the domain name can see this info. If the current address is no longer valid, you can edit it with several mouse clicks without the need to leave this section of the Control Panel. The update is instantaneous, so you will be able to request the EPP transfer code for the particular domain straight away.
