Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another usually entails the use of a special authorization code, which different registrar companies refer to as an EPP authentication code, a domain password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a protection measure against unapproved transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain name and is provided by the present 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 ordinarily comprises of digits and special symbols, so as to stop unauthorized persons from breaking it. Certain companies even change the codes of domains registered through them after a given amount of time for better safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting
You can get the EPP transfer code for any domain that you’ve registered through our company with just a couple of clicks from the exact same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your cloud hosting account. As soon as you go to the Registered Domains section, you will find all your domains neatly shown in alphabetical order. In case a particular extension supports transfers between domain registrars with an EPP code, you will see an EPP button on the right side of the respective domain. If you click that button, the code will be sent to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the domain name in question. If needed, you can edit the contact info, including the email address, without having to leave this Control Panel section, in case the current email address isn’t valid any longer.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to obtain its EPP transfer code with only one single click, in case you decide to move it to another registrar company. All it takes to accomplish that is to log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, to visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be to the right of the domain name. Of course, such a button will be available only if the specific TLD extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within sixty seconds, an email that contains the EPP code will be sent to the domain owner’s email address associated with that domain. You can edit the latter through the same section of the Control Panel – if the one that’s currently listed in the WHOIS archives isn’t valid. As the update will take effect without any delay, you can request the EPP transfer code immediately after that.
