Transferring a domain from one company to another ordinarily entails the use of a special transfer code, which different companies refer to as an EPP key, a domain name password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a protection measure against unsanctioned transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the domain owner and is provided by the current domain registrar company. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and typically comprises of digits and special symbols, so as to impede unauthorized people from breaking it. Some companies even alter the codes of domains registered through them after a certain amount of time for better security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

In case you’ve got a shared hosting, you’ve registered a domain name through us and you wish to transfer it away, you can get its EPP transfer code with less than several clicks of the mouse. When you log into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and navigate to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domains that you have registered through us listed alphabetically. To the right of each domain, you will see a mini EPP icon for all domain name extensions that need a code in order to be transferred between domain registrars. Clicking the icon will send the code to the domain name registrant’s email instantly. In the exact same section you can also find and eventually change the email, if the one there isn’t valid any longer.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can quickly obtain the transfer authentication code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you wish to transfer it away. This can be achieved through the very same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you will not have to sign in and out of different admin interfaces. All you need to do is visit the domain management section of the Control Panel and click the EPP button associated with the domain name that you want to transfer, on the condition that its TLD extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain name owner’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so in case the address that is currently listed is outdated, you can change it with a couple of clicks of the mouse without needing to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
