In case you’d like to transfer a domain name from one registrar company to another, you’ll need a unique code, which may be called by multiple names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, etc. All these names refer to one and the same thing – a code that the domain registrant receives from the current domain name registrar and provides to the new one at the time of the order. Without an authentic code, a domain transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety measures against unsanctioned transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even better safety, the code includes numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you have to present the new domain name registrar with the correct code.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting

In case you’ve got a domain name registered through our company and you’ve got a shared web hosting account with us, getting its EPP code is exceptionally easy. You will not have to switch between different platforms, since you can manage all your domain names through the same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to administer your shared hosting account. You’ll see all existing domain names the moment you log in and to the right of the domain names whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you’ll find a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to obtain that code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain name owner’s mailbox, so if the one that you shared initially isn’t valid anymore, you can edit it with several clicks from the same section.
