Transferring a domain name from one company to another commonly involves the use of a unique transfer code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a protection measure against unwanted transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain name and is issued by the current registrar company. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and ordinarily contains numbers and special symbols, so as to hinder unauthenticated people from cracking it. Some registrar companies even alter the codes of domains registered through them after a certain interval of time for even greater security.
EPP Transfer Protection in Hosting
If you have a domain name registered through us and you have a hosting account with us, getting its EPP authorization code is surprisingly easy. You will not need to log in and out of different admin panels, as you can manage all your domains via the very same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared web hosting account. You will see all registered domain names the moment you sign in and next to the domain names whose extensions require an EPP authorization code in order to be transferred away, you will find a small EPP icon. All it takes to get that code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain name owner’s email, so if the one that you shared at first is no longer valid, you can change it with a few clicks from the exact same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you wish to transfer any domain that is registered under a semi-dedicated server account away from us, you can get its EPP transfer authorization code with a few clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. All registered domain names are shown in an independent section of the Control Panel. Quick-access buttons will permit you to use separate functions. To obtain the transfer code, you just need to click on the EPP sign, which will be to the right of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with a transfer authorization code. Our system will email the code to the domain registrant’s email address, which is presently listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record. If needed, you can change this email from the exact same section of the Control Panel before requesting the transfer code. The change will propagate momentarily, so you don’t have to wait for the new email to appear on WHOIS websites.
