If you would like to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you’ll need to pass through several security steps. One of them is getting a special EPP authentication code from the present domain registrar – as long as you are the registrant, since the code is emailed to the domain owner’s email address and nobody else can obtain it. You’ll need to give this code to the new registrar company, otherwise they will not be able to begin the domain transfer process. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of numbers or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily mistyped, so make sure you copy and paste the correct code. As an extra security measure, the transfer code for a domain may be changed regularly. Some companies call this code an Auth key, a domain password or a domain secret as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting
Obtaining the EPP transfer code for any domain name registered through our company under a cloud web hosting account is very easy. You will not have to sign in and out of different interfaces, since you can manage both your domains and your shared hosting account from one location – our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. To obtain the transfer code for any domain name, you only have to visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the mini EPP icon, which will be situated next to each domain name whose extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Our system will email the code to the domain name owner’s email address instantaneously. In case you want to modify the email, you can do it from the same section of the hosting Control Panel with only a few clicks.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can easily obtain the transfer authentication code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you would like to transfer it. This can be achieved through the 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 will have to do is go to the domain management section of the Control Panel and click on the EPP button associated with the domain name that you want to transfer, on the condition that its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain name registrant’s email listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so if the email that is currently listed is outdated, you can update it with a couple of mouse clicks without needing to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
