Transferring a domain from one registrar company to another normally involves the use of a unique authorization code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authentication code, a domain password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unwanted transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain name owner and is provided by the current domain registrar company. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and frequently comprises of digits and special characters, so as to hinder unauthenticated people from deciphering it. Some registrar companies even change the codes of domain names registered through them after a given interval of time for even greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you have a domain name registered through our company and you have a cloud hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP code is very easy. You will not have to log in and out of different interfaces, since you can manage all your domains through the same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You’ll see all existing domains once you sign in and on the right side of the domains whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you will find a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to get this code is to click on the icon. The code is always sent to the domain name owner’s mailbox, so if the one that you gave at first is not valid any longer, you can edit it with a few clicks of the mouse from the very same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to get its EPP transfer authentication code with just one click, in case you decide to transfer it to another registrar company. All it takes to accomplish 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. Of course, such a button will be there only if the given domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within a minute, an email that includes the EPP code will be sent to the domain name registrant’s email address associated with that domain. You can update the latter via the same section of the Control Panel – if the one that is currently listed in the WHOIS details isn’t valid. Since the update will propagate without delay, you can request the EPP code immediately after that.
