Transferring a domain from one registrar company to another generally involves the use of a unique transfer authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a safety measure against unsolicited transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain name and is provided by the current domain registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and ordinarily comprises of numbers and special symbols, so as to stop unauthenticated people from guessing it. Certain domain name registrars even alter the codes of domain names registered through them every now and then for even greater safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Website Hosting
In case you’ve got a Linux website hosting service, you have registered a domain name with us and you would like to transfer it, you can get its EPP transfer code with no more than several mouse clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel and go to the Registered Domains section, you will see all the domains that you have registered with our company shown in alphabetical order. Next to each domain, you’ll see a small EPP icon for all gTLD and ccTLD extensions that require a code in order to be transferred between companies. Clicking on the icon will email the code to the domain registrant’s email address straight away. In the exact same section you can also see and eventually modify the email, if the one there is no longer valid.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can swiftly obtain the transfer authorization code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you wish to transfer it. This can be accomplished through the exact same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you won’t have to go through different Control Panel tools. All you have to do is go to the domain management section of the Control Panel and click on the EPP button for the domain name that you want to transfer, provided that its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain registrant’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the address that is currently entered is obsolete, you can modify it with a couple of mouse clicks without needing to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
