If you want to transfer a domain from one registrar company to another, you will have to go through a couple of security steps. One of them is obtaining a unique EPP code from the current registrar – on the condition that you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's mailbox and nobody else can see it. You will need to give this code to the new registrar, or else they won’t be able to begin the domain name transfer procedure. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of digits or special characters such as dots or commas, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy & paste the correct code. As an extra security measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain may be altered regularly. Certain companies call this code a domain password, a domain secret or an Auth key as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting

In case you have a domain registered through us and you have a cloud hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is unbelievably easy. You won’t need to sign in and out of different systems, as you can administer all your domain names via the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You will see all active domain names once you log in and next to the domains whose extensions require an EPP transfer code in order to be transferred away, you’ll find a mini EPP icon. All it takes to obtain the code is to click on the icon. The code is always sent to the domain registrant’s email account, so if the one that you gave originally is not valid anymore, you can edit it with several clicks from the very same section.
