Transferring a domain from one company to another commonly entails the use of a special transfer code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authentication code, a domain password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a security mechanism against unwanted transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain name registrant and is issued by the present registrar company. It must be given to the new domain registrar company because the transfer cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly contains numbers and special characters, so as to hinder unauthenticated persons from hijacking it. Some domain name registrars even reset the codes of domain names registered through them after a given interval of time for even greater safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting
Getting the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain registered through our company under a shared web hosting account is extremely easy. You won’t need to log in and out of different Control Panels, since you can manage both your domain names and your shared web hosting account from the very same place – our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel. To obtain the transfer code for any domain name, you just need to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the tiny EPP logo, which will be situated on the right-hand side of each domain name whose extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Our system will send the code to the domain name owner’s email address straight away. In case you want to modify the email, you can do it from the very same section of the Control Panel with only a few clicks of the mouse.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you want to transfer any domain name that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another registrar, you can get its EPP transfer authorization code with a couple of clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. All registered domain names will be listed in an independent section. Quick-access buttons will enable you to use different features. To get the EPP transfer code, you simply have to click the EPP button, which will be next to any domain name whose TLD extension supports transfers with an authorization code. Our system will send the code to the domain owner’s email, which is presently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If you want, you can update this email from the exact same section of the Control Panel before requesting the transfer authorization code. The update will take effect instantly, so you do not need to wait for the new email address to be listed on WHOIS lookup websites.
