If you want to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you’ll need a unique code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth code, a domain name password, etc. All these names denote the same thing – a code that the domain name registrant gets from the current domain registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without an authentic code, a domain transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection measures against unwanted transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even better safety, the code includes numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you want to transfer one of your domains, you need to present the new company with the right code.

EPP Transfer Protection in Website Hosting

In case you have a website hosting, you have registered a domain through our company and you would like to transfer it away, you can obtain its EPP transfer code with no more than a couple of mouse clicks. When you sign in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and go to the Registered Domains section, you will see all the domains that you have registered with us shown alphabetically. Next to each domain, you will notice a small EPP icon for all Top-Level Domain extensions that need a code in order to be transferred between registrars. Clicking on the icon will email the code to the domain name owner’s email address straight away. In the exact same section you can also see and ultimately update the email address, if the one there is not valid any longer.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to get its EPP transfer authorization code with only a click, in case you decide to move it to another domain registrar. All it takes to do that is to log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, to go to 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 respective domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within 60 seconds, an email that includes the EPP code will be sent to the domain name registrant’s mailbox associated with that domain name. You can update the latter via the exact same Control Panel section – in case the one that’s presently listed in the WHOIS database is not valid. Since the change will take effect without delay, you can request the EPP transfer code right after that.
