If you would like to transfer a domain from one domain registrar to another, you will need to pass through a few security procedures. One of them is getting a special EPP authorization code from the current domain name registrar – provided that you are the domain registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email address and no one else can see it. You need to provide this code to the new domain name registrar, otherwise they won’t be able to start the domain name transfer. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may include numbers or special characters such as dots or commas, which can be easily mistyped, so make sure you copy and paste the correct code. As an additional security measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain may be altered on a regular basis. Certain domain name registrars refer to this code as a domain secret, a domain password or an Auth key as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

Obtaining the EPP transfer code for any domain name registered through us under a shared hosting account is stunningly easy. You won’t need to log in and out of different admin consoles, since you can administer both your domains and your shared hosting account from the very same place – our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To get the transfer code for any domain, you only have to go to the Registered Domains section and to click the small EPP sign, which will be located next to any domain whose extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Our system will email the code to the domain name registrant’s email address straight away. In case you want to modify the email, you can do it from the exact same section of the Control Panel with only a few clicks.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can quickly obtain the transfer authorization code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you’d like to transfer it. This can be accomplished through the very same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you won’t have to go through different platforms. All you have to do is visit the Control Panel’s domain management section and click on the EPP button for the domain that you want to transfer, provided that its TLD extension supports transfers with a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the registrant’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so in case the address that is currently listed is obsolete, you can edit it with a couple of mouse clicks without needing to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
