In case you wish to transfer a domain from one company to another, you’ll need a unique domain name authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP key, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names denote the very same thing – a code that the domain name owner obtains from the current domain registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without a genuine code, a domain name transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection measures against unwanted transfers used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater safety, the code includes numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you wish to transfer one of your domains, you have to provide the new company with the right code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Website Hosting
In case you have a website hosting, you’ve registered a domain name with our company and you’d like to transfer it away, you can obtain its EPP authentication code with no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse. When you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel and navigate to the Registered Domains section, you will see all the domain names that you have registered through our company displayed in alphabetical order. Next to each domain name, you’ll see a small EPP icon for all generic and country-code domain extensions that need a code in order to be transferred between companies. Clicking the icon will email the EPP code to the domain name registrant’s email momentarily. In the exact same section you can also see and ultimately change the email, if the one there is no longer valid.
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 just one single click, if you decide to transfer it to a different registrar company. All it takes to accomplish that is to sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be next to the domain name. Of course, this button will be available only if the specific generic or country-code Top-Level Domain extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within 60 seconds, an email message that contains the EPP code will be sent to the domain owner’s email address associated with that domain. You can change the latter via the very same Control Panel section – if the one that’s presently listed in the WHOIS details is not a valid one. As the change will propagate without any delay, you can request the EPP transfer code directly after that.
