If you would like to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you will have to pass through a few safety steps. One of them is getting a special EPP code from the current registrar company – on the condition that you are the domain registrant, since the code is sent to the domain owner’s email account and nobody else can see it. You will need to give this code to the new domain name registrar, or else they won’t be able to start the transfer procedure. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may include numbers or special symbols such as dots or commas, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy/paste the right code. As an extra security measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain may be altered regularly. Certain registrar companies refer to this code as a domain secret, a domain password or an Auth key as well.
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 code is stunningly easy. You will not have to switch between different admin panels, since you can administer all your domain names via the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to administer your hosting account. You’ll see all existing domains as soon as you sign in and next to the domain names whose extensions require an EPP authorization code in order to be transferred away, you’ll notice a mini EPP icon. All it takes to get the code is to click the icon. The code is always sent to the domain registrant’s email, so in case the one that you shared at first isn’t valid any longer, you can update it with a couple of clicks of the mouse from the same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to get its EPP transfer authentication code with just one click of the mouse, in case you decide to move it to a different registrar company. All it takes to accomplish that is to sign into your Hepsia Control Panel, to navigate to the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be on the right-hand side of the domain name. Of course, this button will be there only if the particular generic or country-code TLD extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within one minute, an email that contains the EPP code will be sent to the domain owner’s mailbox associated with that domain name. You can modify the latter through the exact same Control Panel section – if the one that’s currently listed in the WHOIS database isn’t valid. Since the update will propagate without any delay, you can request the EPP transfer code immediately after that.
