If you would like to transfer a domain from one company to another, you’ll need to go through a couple of security procedures. One of them is obtaining a special EPP authentication code from the present domain registrar – as long as you are the registrant, since the code is emailed to the domain owner’s email address and nobody else can see it. You need to give this code to the new registrar, otherwise they will not be able to initiate the domain name transfer. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of numbers or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily mistyped, so make sure you copy & paste the right code. As an additional security measure, the transfer code for a domain may be reset regularly. Some registrar companies refer to this code as a domain secret, a domain password or an Auth key as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting

If you’ve got a shared website hosting, you have registered a domain name through our company and you would like to transfer it, you can get its EPP transfer code with no more than several clicks. When you sign into your Hepsia Control Panel and go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domains that you have registered with our company shown alphabetically. Next to each domain name, you will notice a mini EPP icon for all TLD extensions that need an EPP code in order to be transferred between companies. Clicking the icon will send the code to the registrant’s email address straight away. In the same section you can also find and ultimately change the email, if the one there isn’t valid anymore.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can swiftly obtain the transfer authentication code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you’d like to transfer it away. This can be achieved through the same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you will not have to go through different platforms. All you will have to do is visit the domain management section of the Control Panel and click the EPP button associated with the domain that you would like to transfer, on the condition that its TLD extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain registrant’s email address listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so in case the address that is currently entered is out of date, you can change it with a couple of clicks without having to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
