If you’d like to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you will need to pass through several safety procedures. One of them is obtaining a unique EPP code from the current registrar company – provided that you are the registrant, since the code is emailed to the owner's mailbox and no one else can see it. You have to provide this code to the new domain registrar, or else they will not be able to start the domain transfer. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters such as dots or commas, which can be easily mistyped, so make sure you copy/paste the correct code. As an extra safety measure, the transfer code for a domain may be altered regularly. Certain domain registrars call this code a domain secret, a domain password or an Auth key as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting
In case you have a domain name registered through us and you’ve got a shared web hosting account with us, getting its EPP authorization code is stunningly easy. You will not have to sign in and out of different user interfaces, since you can administer all your domain names via the very same Hepsia hosting 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 to the right of the domains whose extensions require an EPP transfer code in order to be transferred away, you’ll notice a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to obtain that code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain name owner’s email account, so if the one that you gave originally is not valid any longer, you can update it with a few mouse clicks from the very same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to get its EPP transfer code with just one click, in case you decide to move it to a different domain registrar. All it takes to accomplish that is to sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, to go to the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be next to the domain. Of course, such a button will be available only if the specific generic or country-code top-level domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within 60 seconds, an email message that includes the EPP code will be sent to the registrant’s email account associated with that domain name. You can update the latter through the exact same Control Panel section – in case the one that is currently listed in the WHOIS details is not a valid one. As the change will take effect without delay, you can request the EPP code directly after that.
