EPP Transfer Protection
What's an EPP code? What exactly is its purpose? What importance does it have as far as domain name transfers are involved?
If you want to transfer a domain from one registrar company to another, you’ll need a unique authorization code, which may be called by multiple names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, etc. All these names designate the very same thing – a code that the domain name registrant gets from the current registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without a valid code, a domain transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unapproved transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even better safety, the code contains numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you would like to transfer one of your domains, you need to supply the new company with the right code.

Getting the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain name registered through us under a

You won’t need to switch between different admin panels, since you can administer both your domains and your web hosting account from a single location – our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. To obtain the transfer code for any domain name, you simply have to visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the small EPP sign, which will be situated to the right of each domain whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will send the code to the domain name owner’s email address right away.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can quickly get the transfer code for any domain name registered under a
semi-dedicated server account if you want to transfer it. This can be accomplished through the same Control Panel, via which you administer your account, so you won’t have to switch between different admin panels. All you need to do is visit the Control Panel’s domain management section and click on the EPP button for the domain that you wish to transfer, on the condition that its TLD extension supports transfers with a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain owner’s email listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so if the address that is currently entered is out of date, you can modify it with a couple of clicks of the mouse without needing to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
