If you would like to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you’ll have to pass through several safety steps. One of them is getting a unique EPP authorization code from the current registrar company – provided that you are the domain registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email and no one else can obtain it. You need to provide this code to the new domain name registrar, otherwise they will not be able to initiate the domain transfer procedure. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy and paste the correct code. As an additional protection measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain name may be reset on a regular basis. Certain domain registrars refer to this code as a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting
If you have a Linux cloud web hosting, you’ve registered a domain name through our company and you want to transfer it, you can obtain its EPP authorization code with no more than a couple of clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel and go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domains that you’ve registered through us shown in alphabetical order. On the right-hand side of each domain name, you will notice a mini EPP icon for all generic and country-code domain extensions that need an EPP code in order to be transferred between registrars. Clicking on the icon will email the code to the domain owner’s email address instantly. In the same section you can also find and ultimately edit the email address, if the one there is no longer valid.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to get its EPP transfer authorization code with just one click, if you decide to transfer it to some other company. All it takes to do that is to log into your Hepsia Control Panel, to visit the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be next to the domain name. Of course, such a button will be available only if the given generic or country-code top-level domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within one minute, an email that contains the EPP code will be sent to the domain name owner’s mailbox associated with that domain. You can change the latter via the exact same section of the Control Panel – in case the one that is presently listed in the WHOIS database isn’t valid. As the update will propagate without any delays, you can request the EPP code right after that.
