Transferring a domain from one company to another commonly involves the use of a unique domain name authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a protection measure against unwanted transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the domain name owner and is issued by the current domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer process cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and often contains numbers and special symbols, so as to hinder unauthorized people from hijacking it. Some domain registrars even change the codes of domains registered through them every once in a while for greater safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting

Getting the EPP transfer code for any domain registered through us under a shared web hosting account is unbelievably easy. You will not have to sign in and out of different admin consoles, as you can manage both your domains and your shared web hosting account from the same place – our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To obtain the transfer code for any domain name, you simply need to visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the small EPP sign, which will be located on the right-hand side of any domain whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will email the code to the domain registrant’s email address immediately. In case you want to modify the email, you can do it from the exact same section of the hosting Control Panel with only 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 authorization code with only one single mouse click, in case you decide to transfer it to another domain name registrar. All it takes to achieve that is to sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to navigate to the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be to the right of the domain name. Of course, this button will be there only if the particular top-level domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within sixty seconds, an email message that contains the EPP code will be sent to the domain registrant’s email address associated with that domain name. You can change the latter through the exact same section of the Control Panel – if the one that is currently listed in the WHOIS database isn’t a valid one. As the change will propagate without delay, you can request the EPP transfer code right after that.
