Transferring a domain name from one company to another usually entails the use of a special domain name authorization code, which different companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unwanted transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain name owner and is provided by the current domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new domain registrar company because the transfer process cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and usually contains numbers and special symbols, so as to hinder unauthenticated people from guessing it. Some companies even change the codes of domains registered through them after a particular interval of time for better security.
EPP Transfer Protection in Website Hosting
You can get the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain that you’ve registered through our company with just several clicks from the same Hepsia Control Panel that you will use to manage your website hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you will see all your domains neatly listed in alphabetical order. If a particular extension supports transfers between domain name registrars with an EPP transfer code, you’ll see an EPP button on the right side of the respective domain. If you click on that button, the code will be sent to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain dame. If you wish, you can modify the contact info, including the email, without having to leave this Control Panel section, in case the currently listed email address is not valid any longer.
