If you would like to transfer a domain from one domain registrar to another, you will need to pass through a few security steps. One of them is getting a special EPP authorization code from the current domain name registrar – on the condition that you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email address and nobody else can get it. You will need to give this code to the new registrar, otherwise they won’t be able to initiate the domain name transfer process. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may include numbers or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy & paste the right code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be changed regularly. Certain companies call this code a domain secret, an Auth key or a domain password as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

If you have a domain registered through our company and you’ve got a shared hosting account with us, getting its EPP authorization code is surprisingly easy. You will not have to sign in and out of different systems, since you can administer all your domains through the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You’ll see all registered domains once you log in and next to the domain names whose extensions require an EPP transfer code in order to be transferred, you’ll notice a small EPP icon. All it takes to obtain that code is to click the icon. The code is always sent to the domain registrant’s mailbox, so in case the one that you shared at first isn’t valid anymore, you can modify it with a couple of mouse clicks from the same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you would like to transfer any domain name that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another registrar company, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with a couple of mouse clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. All registered domains will be displayed in an independent section. Quick-access buttons will permit you to use separate functions. To get the transfer code, you simply need to click the EPP logo, which will be next to any domain whose extension supports transfers with an authorization code. Our system will send the code to the domain registrant’s email address, which is presently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If needed, you can change this email from the very same section of the Control Panel before requesting the transfer authorization code. The change will take effect immediately, so you don’t need to wait for the new email to show up on WHOIS web sites.
