Transferring a domain name from one company to another commonly involves the use of a unique authorization code, which different companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a security measure against unsolicited transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the domain registrant and is issued by the present domain name 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 normally includes digits and special symbols, so as to prevent unauthorized individuals from deciphering it. Certain companies even reset the codes of domain names registered through them after a given interval of time for even better security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

You can obtain the EPP transfer code for any domain name that you’ve registered with our company with just several clicks of the mouse from the very same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your shared hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you will see all your domain names conveniently shown in alphabetical order. In case a particular TLD extension supports transfers between registrars with an EPP transfer code, you will see an EPP button on the right side of the respective domain. If you click that button, the code will be emailed to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain dame. If you want, you can update the contact details, including the email address, without needing to leave this Control Panel section, in case the currently listed email is not valid anymore.

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account with us and you have registered a domain that you wish to transfer, you can obtain the EPP transfer code unbelievably easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you will administer both your domain names and your account. If you go to the Registered Domains section, you will see an EPP logo on the right side of your domain names, on the condition that their TLD extensions support transfers between registrar companies with such a code. All codes are emailed automatically by our system to the registrant’s email to make sure that only the owner of the domain can obtain this information. If the currently listed email address isn’t valid anymore, you can change it with a few clicks without needing to leave this section of the Control Panel. The update is instant, so you will be able to request the EPP code for the respective domain right away.
