If you’d like to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you’ll have to go through several security steps. One of them is getting a unique EPP code from the present 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 see it. You’ll have to provide this code to the new registrar company, or else they won’t be able to initiate the domain transfer. The EPP codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of digits or special symbols such as dots or commas, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy and paste the correct code. As an additional safety measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain may be changed on a regular basis. Certain registrar companies refer to this code as an Auth key, a domain secret or a domain password as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Website Hosting
If you have a Linux website hosting, you’ve registered a domain through us and you’d like to transfer it, you can obtain its EPP authorization code with less than a few mouse clicks. When you sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and navigate to the Registered Domains section, you will see all the domains that you’ve registered with our company listed in alphabetical order. On the right-hand side of each domain name, you will see a tiny EPP icon for all top-level domain name extensions that need a code in order to be transferred between registrar companies. Clicking the icon will email the EPP code to the domain name owner’s email instantaneously. In the same section you can also see and eventually edit the email, if the one there is not valid anymore.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to obtain its EPP transfer code with only one click, if you decide to transfer it to a different registrar. All it takes to accomplish that is to sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to navigate to the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be on the right-hand side of the domain name. Of course, such a button will be there only if the particular TLD extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within one minute, an email that contains the code will be sent to the registrant’s email address associated with that domain name. You can update the latter through the exact same Control Panel section – if the one that is currently listed in the WHOIS details is not valid. Since the update will propagate without delay, you can request the EPP code directly after that.
