If you wish to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you’ll need a special transfer authorization code, which may be called by different names – an EPP key, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, etc. All these names denote one and the same thing – a code that the domain name owner receives from the present registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without an authentic code, a domain transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection measures against unsanctioned transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For better safety, the code comprises of numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you would like to transfer one of your domains, you need to provide the new company with the right code.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

In case you’ve got a domain name registered through us and you’ve got a cloud website hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is incredibly easy. You won’t need to log in and out of different platforms, since you can administer all your domain names through the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to administer your web hosting account. You will see all registered domains as soon as you sign in and next to the domains whose extensions require an EPP transfer code in order to be transferred, you will see a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to obtain that code is to click the icon. The code is always sent to the domain name owner’s mailbox, so in case the one that you specified at first is no longer valid, you can change it with a few clicks of the mouse from the exact same section.
