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 name password or an Auth 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 owner of the given domain and is issued by the current domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer process cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and normally comprises of digits and special symbols, so as to prevent unauthenticated people from hijacking it. Certain companies even alter the codes of domain names registered through them once in a while for better safety.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you have a domain name registered through us and you have a cloud hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is astonishingly easy. You won’t have to sign in and out of different user interfaces, as you can manage all your domain names through the same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared web hosting account. You will see all active domains the moment you log in and to the right of the domains whose extensions require an EPP code in order to be transferred, you’ll find a small EPP icon. All it takes to obtain this code is to click on the icon. The code is always emailed to the registrant’s email address, so in case the one that you shared at first isn’t valid anymore, you can update it with several clicks from the very same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you’ve registered a domain name that you would like to transfer, you can get the EPP transfer code really easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll manage both your account and your domains. If you go to the Registered Domains section, you will see an EPP logo on the right side of your domain names, on the condition that their TLD extensions support transfers between registrars with such a code. All codes are sent automatically by our system to the registrant’s email to ensure that only the domain name owner can obtain this information. If the currently entered email address is not valid anymore, you can edit it with several clicks of the mouse without needing to leave this section of the Control Panel. The change is instantaneous, so you will be able to request the EPP code for the given domain right away.
