Transferring a domain name from one company to another typically entails the use of a unique transfer authorization code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authentication code, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unsanctioned transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the domain name owner and is issued by the present domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and normally contains digits and special characters, so as to stop unauthorized individuals from deciphering it. Some domain registrars even reset the codes of domains registered through them after a particular interval of time for better security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting

Obtaining the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain name registered through us under a cloud hosting account is incredibly easy. You won’t need to sign in and out of different admin interfaces, since you can manage both your domain names and your web hosting account from the exact same place – our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To obtain the EPP transfer code for any domain name, you only have to go to the Registered Domains section and to click the mini EPP symbol, which will be located to the right of any domain whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will send the code to the domain name owner’s email immediately. In case you would like to change the email, you can do it from the exact same section of the hosting Control Panel with only several clicks.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you’ll be able to obtain its EPP transfer authentication code with only one single mouse click, if you decide to move it to some other domain registrar. All it takes to achieve that is to log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to go to the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be next to the domain name. Of course, this button will be available only if the particular domain extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within one minute, an email that includes the EPP code will be sent to the domain owner’s email account associated with that domain name. You can modify the latter through the same section of the Control Panel – if the one that’s currently listed in the WHOIS database isn’t valid. Since the update will take effect without delay, you can request the EPP code directly after that.
