If you want to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you will need to pass through a few safety steps. One of them is obtaining a unique EPP authorization code from the current domain registrar – on the condition that you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the domain owner’s email account and no one else can get it. You will have to provide this code to the new registrar company, otherwise they won’t be able to begin the transfer. The EPP codes are case-sensitive and may contain numbers or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy and paste the correct code. As an extra safety measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be changed on a regular basis. Some registrars call this code a domain password, a domain secret or an Auth key as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting
In case you have a domain name registered through us and you have a shared hosting account with us, getting its EPP transfer code is unbelievably easy. You won’t need to switch between different admin panels, since you can manage all your domain names through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to administer your shared web hosting account. You will see all active domains as soon as you sign in and next to the domain names whose extensions require an EPP code in order to be transferred away, you’ll notice a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to get that code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain name registrant’s email account, so in case the one that you specified at first is not valid anymore, you can edit it with a few clicks from the very same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with just one single click of the mouse, if 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 visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be on the right-hand side of the domain name. Of course, such a button will be available only if the respective top-level domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within 60 seconds, an email message that contains the EPP code will be sent to the domain registrant’s mailbox associated with that domain. You can modify the latter through the exact same section of the Control Panel – in case the one that is presently listed in the WHOIS details isn’t a valid one. As the change will propagate without any delays, you can request the EPP transfer code immediately after that.
