If you would like to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you will have to pass through a couple of safety steps. One of them is getting a unique EPP code from the present domain name registrar – as long as you are the domain registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email address and nobody else can see it. You will have to provide this code to the new domain registrar, or else they won’t be able to start the domain name transfer. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may include numbers or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily mistyped, so make sure you copy and paste the right code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer code for a domain may be reset regularly. Certain registrars refer to this code as a domain password, a domain secret or an Auth key as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Web Hosting

You can get the EPP transfer code for any domain name that you’ve registered with us with only a couple of clicks from the very same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your web hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you will see all your domains conveniently listed in alphabetical order. In case a certain extension supports transfers between registrar companies with an EPP code, you’ll see an EPP button next to the respective domain name. If you click that button, the code will be emailed to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain dame. If you want, you can edit the contact info, including the email, without having to leave this section of the Control Panel, if the current email is no longer valid.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can effortlessly obtain the transfer authorization code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you wish to transfer it away. This can be done through the same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you won’t have to go through different user interfaces. All you will need to do is visit the domain management section of the Control Panel and click the EPP button associated with the domain that you want to transfer, as long as its TLD extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain name owner’s email listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so in case the email that is currently entered is obsolete, you can edit it with a couple of clicks without having to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
