If you decide to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you’ll need to go through a couple of safety procedures. One of them is obtaining a special EPP code from the present domain name registrar – as long as you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the domain owner’s email address and nobody else can see it. You’ll have to give this code to the new domain registrar, or else they will not be able to start the domain name transfer. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of numbers or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy/paste the right code. As an extra safety measure, the transfer code for a domain may be changed regularly. Some domain name registrars call this code a domain password, a domain secret or an Auth key as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Website Hosting
If you have a domain name registered through our company and you’ve got a cloud website hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP authorization code is very easy. You won’t need to switch between different admin panels, as you can manage all your domains via the same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You’ll see all existing domains once you log in and on the right side of the domains whose extensions require an EPP code in order to be transferred, you will see a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to obtain the code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain owner’s email address, so if the one that you shared originally isn’t valid anymore, you can change it with a few clicks of the mouse from the very same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can swiftly get the transfer authorization code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you would like to transfer it. This can be accomplished through the very same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you won’t have to log in and out of different platforms. All you need to do is go to the Control Panel’s domain management section and click on the EPP button associated with the domain name that you wish to transfer, provided that its TLD extension supports transfers with a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain owner’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the email that is currently entered is obsolete, you can update it with a couple of clicks without having to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
