Transferring a domain name from one company to another ordinarily involves the use of a unique authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unsanctioned transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain and is issued by the current registrar. It must be given to the new domain registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and ordinarily contains numbers and special characters, so as to stop unauthenticated people from guessing it. Some companies even alter the codes of domains registered through them from time to time for greater safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting
In case you have a domain registered through our company and you’ve got a shared website hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP code is astonishingly easy. You will not need to log in and out of different platforms, since you can administer all your domain names through the same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage your shared hosting account. You will see all registered domain names once you log in and to the right of the domains whose extensions require an EPP transfer code in order to be transferred, you will notice a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to get the code is to click the icon. The code is always sent to the domain name owner’s email, so if the one that you shared initially is no longer valid, you can edit it with a couple of clicks of the mouse from the same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to obtain its EPP transfer code with only one click of the mouse, if you decide to move it to a different registrar company. All it takes to achieve that is to sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be next to the domain. Of course, such a button will be there only if the given domain extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within 60 seconds, an email message that includes the code will be sent to the domain owner’s mailbox associated with that domain name. You can edit the latter via the exact same section of the Control Panel – in case the one that is currently listed in the WHOIS register isn’t a valid one. As the update will take effect without any delays, you can request the EPP code directly after that.
