Transferring a domain name from one company to another normally entails the use of a unique domain name authorization code, which different registrar companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unwanted transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the domain owner and is provided by the current registrar. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and typically contains digits and special symbols, so as to impede unauthorized persons from deciphering it. Certain registrar companies even change the codes of domains registered through them after a certain amount of time for even better safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting
If you’ve got a cloud hosting plans, you have registered a domain name through our company and you wish to transfer it away from us, you can get its EPP authentication code with less than a few clicks of the mouse. When you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and visit the Registered Domains section, you will see all the domains that you’ve registered with our company shown alphabetically. To the right of each domain, you’ll notice a small EPP icon for all generic and country-code domain name extensions that require an EPP code in order to be transferred between domain name registrars. Clicking the icon will send the code to the domain name owner’s email address immediately. In the very same section you can also find and eventually change the email address, if the one there is no longer valid.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 authentication code with only one mouse click, in case you decide to transfer it to another domain registrar. All it takes to accomplish that is to log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, to go to the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be to the right of the domain. Of course, this button will be there only if the specific top-level domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within a minute, an email message that contains the code will be sent to the registrant’s email address associated with that domain name. You can modify the latter through the same section of the Control Panel – if the one that is currently listed in the WHOIS archives is not valid. Since the change will take effect without any delay, you can request the EPP transfer code immediately after that.
