EPP Transfer Protection
Learn what EPP is, what it is employed for and why it’s crucial for your domain names.
If you’d like to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you will need to go through a few security procedures. One of them is obtaining a special EPP authorization code from the current registrar company – on the condition that you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email account and nobody else can see it. You will have to provide this code to the new domain registrar, otherwise they won’t be able to begin the domain transfer procedure. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may include digits or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy/paste the correct code. As an extra security measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain name may be altered regularly. Certain companies refer to this code as an Auth key, a domain secret or a domain password as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting
Obtaining the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain name registered through us under a shared website hosting account is stunningly easy. You won’t have to sign in and out of different admin dashboards, since you can manage both your domains and your hosting account from one single location – our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. To get the transfer code for any domain name, you simply have to visit the Registered Domains section and to click the mini EPP icon, which will be located on the right-hand side of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will email the code to the domain registrant’s email straight away. In case you’d like to edit the email, you can do it from the exact same section of the hosting Control Panel with only a couple of clicks.
