If you want to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you’ll need to go through several safety steps. One of them is getting a special EPP code from the current registrar – provided that you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the domain owner’s email account and nobody else can obtain it. You will need to provide this code to the new domain name registrar, otherwise they won’t be able to begin the transfer. The EPP codes are case-sensitive and may include digits or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy/paste the correct code. As an additional protection measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain name may be reset regularly. Certain registrars refer to this code as a domain password, a domain secret or an Auth key as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

Getting the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain registered through our company under a shared hosting account is unbelievably easy. You won’t have to log in and out of different admin consoles, as you can manage both your domains and your shared web hosting account from one and the same place – our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To obtain the transfer code for any domain, you just need to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the small EPP sign, which will be situated to the right of each domain whose extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Our system will send the code to the domain name owner’s email address straight away. If you want to update the email, you can do it from the exact same section of the hosting Control Panel with just a few clicks of the mouse.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

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 mouse click, if you decide to transfer it to some other company. All it takes to do that is to log 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, this button will be there only if the given generic or country-code TLD extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within sixty seconds, an email that includes the EPP code will be sent to the domain registrant’s mailbox associated with that domain. You can update the latter through the same section of the Control Panel – if the one that’s presently listed in the WHOIS archives isn’t valid. Since the update will take effect without delay, you can request the EPP code right after that.
