If you wish to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you’ll have to go through a couple of safety procedures. One of them is obtaining a unique EPP authentication code from the current registrar company – provided that you are the domain registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email account and no one else can obtain it. You’ll need to provide this code to the new domain name registrar, or else they will not be able to initiate the domain name transfer procedure. The EPP codes are case-sensitive and may contain numbers or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy and paste the right code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer code for a domain may be changed regularly. Certain domain name registrars call this code a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting

In case you’ve got a domain name registered through us and you’ve got a shared website hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is surprisingly easy. You will not need to sign in and out of different systems, as you can manage all your domains through the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to administer your shared hosting account. You’ll see all active domains once you sign in and next to the domains whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you’ll see a mini EPP icon. All it takes to obtain that code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain name registrant’s email address, so if the one that you shared at first isn’t valid any longer, you can update it with a few mouse clicks from the same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you’ll be able to obtain its EPP transfer code with only one single mouse click, if you decide to move it to some other domain name registrar. All it takes to do that is to log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be to the right of the domain name. Of course, this button will be there only if the given top-level domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within sixty seconds, an email that includes the code will be sent to the domain owner’s mailbox associated with that domain. You can modify the latter through the exact same section of the Control Panel – in case the one that is currently listed in the WHOIS archives is not valid. Since the change will propagate without any delay, you can request the EPP code right after that.
