Transferring a domain from one company to another commonly entails the use of a special domain authorization code, which different companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an Auth code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unwanted transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the particular domain name and is provided by the present registrar. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly includes numbers and special symbols, so as to obstruct unauthorized people from deciphering it. Some registrars even reset the codes of domains registered through them after a certain interval of time for better security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting

In case you’ve got a domain registered through our company and you’ve got a shared web hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is astonishingly easy. You will not need to sign in and out of different user interfaces, since you can manage all your domain names via the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to administer your shared web hosting account. You’ll see all active domain names as soon as you sign in and to the right of the domains whose extensions require a code in order to be transferred away, you’ll find a mini 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 The code is always emailed to the domain name owner’s email address, so if the one that you specified at first is no longer valid, you can edit it with a few mouse clicks from the exact same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to get its EPP transfer code with only a mouse click, if you decide to transfer it to a different domain name registrar. All it takes to accomplish that is to sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to visit the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be next to the domain. Of course, this button will be available only if the particular gTLD or ccTLD extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within a minute, an email that includes the code will be sent to the registrant’s email address associated with that domain name. You can edit the latter through the same section of the Control Panel – if the one that is presently listed in the WHOIS details isn’t valid. As the update will take effect without any delay, you can request the EPP code directly after that.
