If you wish to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you’ll need to pass through a few safety procedures. One of them is obtaining a unique EPP code from the current registrar – provided that you are the domain registrant, since the code is emailed to the domain owner’s email address and no one else can get it. You’ll have to provide this code to the new registrar company, otherwise they will not be able to begin the domain transfer. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of numbers or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy/paste the correct code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be reset regularly. Some domain name registrars call this code a domain secret, a domain password or an Auth key as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting

You can get the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain that you have registered through us with just a couple of clicks from the exact same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to administer your shared website hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you will find all your domain names conveniently listed in alphabetical order. In case a particular TLD extension supports transfers between domain registrars with an EPP transfer code, you will notice an EPP button to the right of the given domain. If you click that button, the code will be sent to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain. If you wish, you can modify the contact info, including the email, without even leaving this Control Panel section, in case the current email address is not valid anymore.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you decide to transfer any domain name that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account away from our company, you can get its EPP transfer authorization code with a few mouse clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domain names are displayed in an autonomous section. Quick-access buttons will allow you to use different features. To obtain the EPP transfer code, you simply have to click on the EPP sign, which will be next to any domain whose TLD extension supports transfers with an authorization code. Our system will email the code to the domain name owner’s email address, which is presently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If needed, you can edit this email address from the exact same Control Panel section before requesting the transfer code. The change will propagate momentarily, so you won’t need to wait for the new email to appear on WHOIS lookup web sites.
