EPP Transfer Protection

What's an EPP code? What exactly is its role? What importance does it have as far as domain name transfers are involved?

Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another typically entails the use of a unique transfer authorization code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a security mechanism against unapproved transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the particular domain and is provided by the present domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new domain registrar company because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and typically contains digits and special characters, so as to hinder unauthorized people from cracking it. Certain domain registrars even reset the codes of domains registered through them after a given period of time for even greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Website Hosting

You can obtain the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain name that you’ve registered with our company with only a couple of mouse clicks from the very same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your website hosting account. As soon as you visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll find all your domain names neatly displayed in alphabetical order. In case a particular extension supports transfers between registrar companies with an EPP code, you’ll see an EPP button on the right side of the respective domain name. If you click that button, the code will be emailed to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain. If needed, you can update the contact details, including the email address, without needing to leave this Control Panel section, in case the currently listed email is not valid any longer.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can easily get the transfer code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you’d like to transfer it. This can be achieved through the very same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you will not have to switch between different admin consoles. All you will need to do is visit the domain management section of the Control Panel and click the EPP button associated with the domain name that you want to transfer, as long as its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the registrant’s email listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the email that is currently entered is out of date, you can update it with a few clicks of the mouse without the need to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
