If you decide to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you will have to pass through a couple of safety procedures. One of them is getting a special EPP authentication code from the current domain name registrar – on the condition that you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email address and nobody else can obtain it. You have to give this code to the new domain name registrar, otherwise they will not be able to start the domain name transfer. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may contain digits or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily mistyped, so make sure you copy/paste the correct code. As an additional safety measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain name may be changed regularly. Some registrars call this code a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Web Hosting

If you’ve got a Linux web hosting services, you have registered a domain through our company and you want to transfer it away from us, you can obtain its EPP authorization code with less than a couple of clicks. When you log into your Hepsia Control Panel and navigate to the Registered Domains section, you will see all the domains that you have registered through us shown in alphabetical order. Next to each domain, you’ll see a mini EPP icon for all top-level domain name extensions that need an EPP code in order to be transferred between domain name registrars. Clicking the icon will email the code to the domain registrant’s email address instantly. In the exact same section you can also find and eventually edit the email address, if the one there is not valid any longer.

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 authorization code with just one single click of the mouse, in case you decide to move it to a different domain registrar. All it takes to achieve that is to log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, to visit the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be to the right of the domain. Of course, such a button will be there only if the particular top-level domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within one minute, an email that contains the EPP code will be sent to the domain registrant’s email account associated with that domain. You can modify the latter via the very same section of the Control Panel – if the one that’s currently listed in the WHOIS database isn’t a valid one. Since the change will take effect without any delays, you can request the EPP transfer code right after that.
