Transferring a domain from one company to another typically entails the use of a special domain authorization code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a protection measure against unsolicited transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain and is issued by the present domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer procedure cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and traditionally comprises of numbers and special characters, so as to hinder unauthenticated persons from breaking it. Certain registrars even change the codes of domain names registered through them after a particular interval of time for even greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

If you have a Linux shared hosting, you’ve registered a domain through our company and you’d like to transfer it, you can obtain its EPP authentication code with no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse. When you log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and visit the Registered Domains section, you will see all the domains that you have registered with our company shown alphabetically. Next to each domain, you will notice a small EPP icon for all generic and country-code Top-Level Domain extensions that require an EPP code in order to be transferred between registrars. Clicking on the icon will email the code to the domain registrant’s email immediately. In the very same section you can also see and ultimately edit the email, if the one there is no longer valid.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you want to transfer any domain that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another registrar company, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with a couple of clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domains are shown in a separate Control Panel section. Quick-access buttons will permit you to use separate features. To obtain the transfer code, you only need to click on the EPP icon, which will be on the right-hand side of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with a transfer authorization code. Our system will email the code to the domain registrant’s email, which is presently listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record. If you wish, you can modify this email from the same section of the Control Panel before requesting the transfer code. The update will take effect straight away, so you don’t have to wait for the new email to be updated on WHOIS lookup websites.
