Transferring a domain name from one company to another traditionally entails the use of a special transfer authorization code, which different companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unapproved transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the given 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 initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and frequently comprises of digits and special symbols, so as to hinder unauthorized persons from breaking it. Some companies even change the codes of domains registered through them every now and then for greater safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting
Obtaining the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain name registered through us under a cloud hosting account is really easy. You will not have to switch between different interfaces, as you can administer both your domains and your hosting account from a single location – our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel. To get the EPP transfer code for any domain name, you simply have to go to the Registered Domains section and to click on the mini EPP logo, which will be situated on the right-hand side of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will send the code to the domain name registrant’s email right away. In case you want to update the email, you can do it from the very same section of the hosting Control Panel with just a few clicks of the mouse.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can quickly get the transfer authentication code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you would like to transfer it away. This can be accomplished through the very same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you won’t have to log in and out of different admin panels. All you will need to do is go to the domain management section of the Control Panel and click on the EPP button associated with the domain name that you would like to transfer, on the condition that its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain name owner’s email listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so in case the address that is currently entered is out of date, you can update it with several clicks of the mouse without even leaving the domain management section of the Control Panel.
