If you wish to transfer a domain from one domain registrar to another, you’ll need to pass through a few safety steps. One of them is obtaining a unique EPP code from the present domain name registrar – as long as you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email address and no one else can see it. You need to give this code to the new domain name registrar, or else they will not be able to start the domain transfer process. The EPP codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of numbers or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy & paste the right code. As an additional safety measure, the transfer code for a domain may be altered regularly. Some registrar companies call this code a domain secret, an Auth key or a domain password as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting
Getting the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain registered through us under a shared website hosting account is incredibly easy. You won’t need to sign in and out of different user interfaces, as you can manage both your domains and your hosting account from one single place – our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. To obtain the transfer code for any domain, you simply need to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the small EPP icon, which will be located to the right of each domain name whose extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Our system will send the code to the registrant’s email momentarily. In case you’d like to update the email, you can do it from the very same section of the hosting Control Panel with only a few clicks.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you’ll be able to get its EPP transfer authentication code with only a mouse click, if you decide to move it to another domain name registrar. All it takes to accomplish that is to log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, to go to the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be to the right of the domain. Of course, this button will be available only if the respective generic or country-code Top-Level Domain extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within sixty seconds, an email message that includes the EPP code will be sent to the registrant’s email account associated with that domain name. You can edit the latter via the same Control Panel section – if the one that is presently listed in the WHOIS register is not valid. As the update will take effect without any delays, you can request the EPP code immediately after that.
