Transferring a domain from one company to another traditionally involves the use of a unique transfer authorization code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authentication code, a domain password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unauthorized transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain registrant and is issued by the current registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly contains digits and special characters, so as to stop unauthorized people from breaking it. Some companies even reset the codes of domain names registered through them after a given period of time for better safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting
Getting the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain registered through us under a shared web hosting account is unbelievably easy. You won’t have to switch between different interfaces, since you can manage both your domains and your web hosting account from the same location – our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To get the EPP transfer code for any domain name, you just have to visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the mini EPP icon, which will be located to the right of each domain name whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will email the code to the registrant’s email right away. In case you want to edit the email, you can do it from the exact same section of the hosting Control Panel with just a couple of clicks of the mouse.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you wish to transfer any domain that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another registrar, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with several clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domains are listed in an independent section. Quick-access buttons will permit you to use different features. To get the transfer code, you just need to click the EPP logo, which will be next to any domain name whose extension supports transfers with a transfer authorization code. Our system will email the code to the domain name owner’s email, which is presently listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record. If you want, you can update this email address from the same section of the Control Panel before requesting the transfer authorization code. The change will take effect instantly, so you will not have to wait for the new email to be displayed on WHOIS lookup sites.
