If you would like to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you’ll need to pass through a couple of safety steps. One of them is obtaining a special EPP authentication code from the present registrar – on the condition that you are the domain registrant, since the code is sent to the domain owner’s email address and no one else can obtain it. You’ll have to give this code to the new registrar company, otherwise they won’t be able to begin the domain name transfer procedure. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of numbers or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy/paste the right code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be changed regularly. Certain domain name registrars call this code a domain secret, a domain password or an Auth key as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

You can obtain the EPP transfer code for any domain that you’ve registered through us with only a few clicks from the exact same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to administer your shared hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you will see all your domains conveniently displayed in alphabetical order. If a certain extension supports transfers between domain name registrars with an EPP code, you’ll notice an EPP button next to the respective domain name. If you click that button, the code will be emailed to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain dame. If you wish, you can edit the contact details, including the email address, without having to leave this Control Panel section, if the currently listed email isn’t valid any longer.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you want to transfer any domain that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account to another registrar company, you can get its EPP transfer authorization code with a couple of clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. All registered domain names will be shown in an independent section. Quick-access buttons will enable you to use separate features. To get the EPP transfer code, you simply need to click 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 currently listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record. If you want, you can update this email address from the very same Control Panel section before requesting the transfer authorization code. The update will take effect instantly, so you won’t need to wait for the new email address to be listed on WHOIS lookup sites.
