EPP Transfer Protection

What's an EPP code? What's its purpose? What importance does it have as far as domain name transfers are concerned?

If you would like to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you will need a special domain name authorization code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth code, a domain password, etc. All these names refer to the exact same thing – a code that the domain owner gets from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one during the order process. Without an authentic code, a transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the safety measures against unwanted transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For greater safety, the code comprises of digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you’d like to transfer one of your domains, you have to provide the new domain registrar with the correct code.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

If you’ve got a shared hosting plans, you have registered a domain through us and you’d like to transfer it, you can obtain its EPP transfer code with no more than several clicks of the mouse. When you log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and go to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domains that you’ve registered with us displayed alphabetically. To the right of each domain, you will see a mini EPP icon for all generic and country-code domain name extensions that need a code in order to be transferred between companies. Clicking the icon will email the EPP code to the registrant’s email address momentarily. In the very same section you can also see and ultimately update the email address, if the one there is not valid any longer.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you would like to transfer any domain that is registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another company, you can obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with a few clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. All registered domains will be listed in an independent Control Panel section. Quick-access controls will allow you to use separate functions. To obtain the EPP transfer code, you simply need to click on the EPP symbol, which will be next to any domain whose extension supports transfers with an authorization code. Our system will send the code to the domain name registrant’s email, which is presently listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record. If you want, you can modify this email from the exact same section of the Control Panel before requesting the EPP transfer authorization code. The update will propagate right away, so you don’t need to wait for the new email address to be published on WHOIS sites.
