Transferring a domain from one company to another traditionally entails the use of a special transfer authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a security mechanism against unsanctioned 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 present domain registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer process cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and usually comprises of digits and special symbols, so as to stop unauthenticated people from cracking it. Some registrar companies even reset the codes of domains registered through them after a given period of time for better security.
EPP Transfer Protection in Web Hosting
In case you have a Linux web hosting, you’ve registered a domain with our company and you would like to transfer it away from us, you can obtain its EPP authorization code with no more than a few clicks of the mouse. When you sign into your Hepsia Control Panel and navigate to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domain names that you have registered with us shown in alphabetical order. On the right-hand side of each domain name, you’ll see a small EPP icon for all generic and country-code domain name extensions that require an EPP code in order to be transferred between registrar companies. Clicking the icon will email the EPP code to the domain name owner’s email address immediately. In the exact same section you can also find and ultimately edit the email, if the one there is no longer valid.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can swiftly obtain the transfer authorization code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you would like to transfer it away. This can be done through the exact same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you won’t have to sign in and out of different interfaces. All you have to do is visit the Control Panel’s domain management section and click the EPP button for the domain name that you’d like to transfer, provided that its extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain name owner’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the email address that is currently listed is obsolete, you can edit it with several mouse clicks without even leaving the domain management section of the Control Panel.
