Transferring a domain from one registrar company to another normally involves the use of a unique domain authorization code, which different companies call an EPP key, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unsanctioned transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain and is provided by the current domain registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and normally includes digits and special symbols, so as to impede unauthenticated individuals from cracking it. Certain domain registrars even change the codes of domains registered through them after a given interval of time for even greater security.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting
Obtaining the EPP transfer code for any domain name registered through our company under a shared web hosting account is surprisingly easy. You won’t have to switch between different tools, as you can administer both your domains and your hosting account from the very same location – our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To get the EPP transfer code for any domain name, you just need to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the tiny EPP symbol, which will be located on the right-hand side of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Our system will email the code to the domain name registrant’s email address immediately. If you would like to change the email, you can do it from the very same section of the Control Panel with just a few mouse clicks.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you’d like to transfer any domain that’s registered under a semi-dedicated server account away from our company, you can get its EPP transfer authorization code with several clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. All registered domain names are listed in a separate Control Panel section. Quick-access controls will permit you to use separate features. To obtain the transfer code, you just have to click the EPP logo, which will be to the right of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with a transfer authorization code. Our system will send the code to the domain name registrant’s email address, which is currently listed in the domain’s WHOIS record. If you want, you can change this email address from the same section of the Control Panel before requesting the transfer code. The change will propagate instantaneously, so you will not need to wait for the new email to be published on WHOIS websites.
