If you decide to transfer a domain name from one registrar company to another, you will need to pass through a few security procedures. One of them is getting a unique EPP authentication code from the present domain name registrar – provided that you are the domain registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's mailbox and nobody else can get it. You’ll need to provide this code to the new registrar company, or else they will not be able to start the domain name transfer process. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may include numbers or special characters such as dots or commas, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy/paste the right code. As an additional security measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain may be reset regularly. Some domain name registrars call this code a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting
In case you’ve got a Linux cloud packages, you’ve registered a domain with us and you’d like to transfer it, you can get its EPP transfer code with less than a few mouse clicks. When you sign into your Hepsia Control Panel and navigate to the Registered Domains section, you will see all the domain names that you have registered through us shown alphabetically. On the right-hand side of each domain name, you’ll notice a tiny EPP icon for all top-level domain name extensions that require a code in order to be transferred between domain name registrars. Clicking on the icon will email the EPP code to the domain registrant’s email address instantly. In the exact same section you can also see and eventually edit the email, if the one there isn’t valid anymore.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can swiftly get the transfer code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you’d like to transfer it away. This can be accomplished through the very same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you will not have to switch between different user interfaces. All you need to do is go to the domain management section of the Control Panel and click the EPP button associated with the domain name that you would like to transfer, as long as its extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain owner’s email address listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so in case the email address that is currently listed is out of date, you can edit it with a few mouse clicks without even leaving the Control Panel’s domain management section.
