In case you wish to transfer a domain from one company to another, you will need a special code, which may be called by many names – an EPP key, an Auth code, a domain password, and so on. All these names denote the same thing – a code that the domain name registrant gets from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without an authentic code, a domain transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the security measures against unsanctioned transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even greater safety, the code contains numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you wish to transfer one of your domains, you have to present the new registrar with the correct code.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting
If you’ve got a domain registered through us and you have a cloud hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP authentication code is very easy. You will not need to switch between different tools, as you can manage all your domains via the very same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You will see all registered domain names the moment you sign in and to the right of the domain names whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you will see a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to obtain that code is to click on the icon. The code is always sent to the domain owner’s email address, so in case the one that you gave originally is no longer valid, you can edit it with a few clicks of the mouse from the exact same section.
