If you want to transfer a domain from one company to another, you’ll have to go through a couple of safety procedures. One of them is obtaining a special EPP authentication code from the present domain registrar – 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 will have to give this code to the new registrar company, or else they won’t be able to initiate the domain transfer. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may contain digits or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy/paste the right code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer code for a domain may be altered on a regular basis. Certain registrars refer to this code as a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you’ve got a Linux cloud hosting services, you have registered a domain name through us and you want to transfer it, you can obtain its EPP authorization code with no more than a few clicks of the mouse. When you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel and visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domains that you have registered through us shown alphabetically. Next to each domain, you’ll notice a mini EPP icon for all domain extensions that require a code in order to be transferred between domain name registrars. Clicking on the icon will send the code to the domain registrant’s email address right away. In the exact same section you can also find and ultimately update the email, if the one there isn’t valid anymore.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to obtain its EPP transfer authentication code with just one mouse click, in case you decide to transfer it to another registrar. All it takes to achieve that is to sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, to navigate to 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 there only if the respective generic or country-code domain extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within sixty seconds, an email message that contains the EPP code will be sent to the domain name owner’s email address associated with that domain name. You can change the latter through the exact same section of the Control Panel – in case the one that’s presently listed in the WHOIS details is not a valid one. Since the change will take effect without any delays, you can request the EPP transfer code immediately after that.
