If you wish to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you will need to pass through a couple of security procedures. One of them is obtaining a unique EPP code from the present domain registrar – provided that you are the domain registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email and no one else can get it. You will have to provide this code to the new domain registrar, otherwise they will not be able to initiate the domain transfer. The EPP codes are case-sensitive and may contain numbers or special symbols such as dots or commas, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy and paste the correct code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be reset regularly. Certain domain registrars refer to this code as a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting
Getting the EPP transfer code for any domain name registered through us under a shared hosting account is very easy. You won’t have to switch between different interfaces, since you can administer both your domain names and your web hosting account from the same location – our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. To obtain the transfer code for any domain name, you only need to visit the Registered Domains section and to click the mini EPP icon, which will be situated next to each domain whose extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Our system will email the code to the domain name registrant’s email right away. If you want to modify the email, you can do it from the exact same section of the Control Panel with just a few mouse clicks.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you have a semi-dedicated server account with us and you’ve registered a domain name that you would like to transfer, you can obtain the EPP transfer code astonishingly easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll manage both your domains and your account. If you go to the Registered Domains section, you will notice an EPP symbol on the right side of your domain names, as long as their TLD extensions support transfers between domain name registrars with such a code. All codes are emailed automatically by our system to the registrant’s email address to ensure that only the owner of the domain name can get this information. If the currently entered email address is not valid, you can modify it with several clicks of the mouse without having to leave this section of the Control Panel. The change is instantaneous, so you’ll be able to request the EPP transfer code for the given domain right away.
