Transferring a domain from one registrar company to another traditionally involves the use of a unique transfer authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP key, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unapproved transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain and is provided by the current 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 traditionally contains numbers and special symbols, so as to stop unauthorized people from breaking it. Some registrar companies even reset the codes of domain names registered through them from time to time for greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you’ve got a domain registered through us and you’ve got a cloud hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP authorization code is surprisingly easy. You won’t need to switch between different admin interfaces, as you can manage all your domains via the same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared hosting account. You will see all existing domain names the moment you sign in and next to the domain names whose extensions require an EPP code in order to be transferred, you will find a mini EPP icon. All it takes to get that code is to click the icon. The code is always sent to the domain registrant’s email, so if the one that you shared initially is no longer valid, you can edit it with several clicks of the mouse from the exact same section.
