Transferring a domain from one company to another generally involves the use of a unique transfer code, which different companies call an EPP key, a domain name password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a safety measure against unsanctioned transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the particular domain and is issued by the present registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and generally comprises of numbers and special characters, so as to obstruct unauthorized individuals from cracking it. Some registrar companies even change the codes of domain names registered through them every now and then for even better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

If you have a Linux cloud web hosting, you have registered a domain name with our company and you want to transfer it away, you can obtain its EPP authentication code with less than several mouse clicks. When you sign into your Hepsia Control Panel and visit the Registered Domains section, you will see all the domains that you’ve registered with our company displayed in alphabetical order. To the right of each domain, you will notice a mini EPP icon for all domain extensions that need an EPP code in order to be transferred between domain name registrars. Clicking on the icon will email the EPP code to the domain registrant’s email address instantaneously. In the exact same section you can also see and ultimately change the email, if the one there isn’t valid any longer.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you decide to transfer any domain that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another domain registrar, you can get its EPP transfer authorization code with several clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domains will be listed in a different Control Panel section. Quick-access buttons will allow you to use separate features. To get the EPP transfer code, you just have to click the EPP sign, which will be to the right of any domain whose extension supports transfers with an authorization code. Our system will email the code to the domain owner’s email address, which is currently listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record. If you want, you can update this email address from the exact same Control Panel section before requesting the transfer authorization code. The change will propagate right away, so you don’t need to wait for the new email to be published on WHOIS lookup web sites.
