Transferring a domain from one company to another commonly involves the use of a special transfer authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authentication code, a domain password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a security measure against unsanctioned transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the particular domain name and is provided by the present domain registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and ordinarily includes numbers and special characters, so as to impede unauthenticated persons from hijacking it. Certain domain registrars even alter the codes of domains registered through them every once in a while for even better safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting
Getting the EPP transfer code for any domain name registered through us under a cloud hosting account is amazingly easy. You will not need to log in and out of different admin consoles, since you can administer both your domain names and your hosting account from the very same place – our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. To obtain the EPP transfer code for any domain name, you only need to visit the Registered Domains section and to click the tiny EPP logo, which will be situated next to each domain whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will email the code to the registrant’s email address momentarily. If you want to update the email, you can do it from the same section of the Control Panel with just a few clicks of the mouse.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you’ve registered a domain name that you’d like to transfer, you can get the EPP transfer code exceptionally easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll manage both your domains and your account. If you visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll notice an EPP symbol on the right side of your domain names, on the condition that their extensions support transfers between registrars with such a code. All codes are sent automatically by our system to the registrant’s email to make sure that only the domain name owner can obtain this info. If the currently entered email address isn’t valid any longer, you can edit it with a few clicks of the mouse without needing to leave this Control Panel section. The update is instant, so you’ll be able to request the EPP transfer code for the respective domain right away.
