If you’d like to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you’ll have to go through a couple of safety steps. One of them is obtaining a special EPP code from the current registrar company – as long as you are the domain registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email and no one else can see it. You’ll have to give this code to the new registrar company, or else they won’t be able to start the domain name transfer. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of digits or special characters such as dots or commas, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy & paste the correct code. As an additional safety measure, the transfer code for a domain may be changed regularly. Certain registrar companies call this code an Auth key, a domain password or a domain secret as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

If you’ve got a domain registered through our company and you’ve got a shared hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP authentication code is very easy. You will not have to log in and out of different admin interfaces, as you can administer all your domain names through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to administer your web hosting account. You will see all existing domains once you log in and to the right of the domains whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred away, you’ll notice a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to obtain that code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the registrant’s email address, so if the one that you shared at first is not valid any longer, you can modify it with several clicks of the mouse from the very same section.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you have registered a domain name that you want to transfer, you can get the EPP transfer code very easy through the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you will administer both your domain names and your account. If you visit the Registered Domains section, you will notice an EPP button on the right side of your domains, on the condition that their TLD extensions support transfers between registrars with such a code. All codes are sent automatically by our system to the registrant’s email to ensure that only the domain name owner can obtain this information. In case the currently entered email is not valid, you can edit it with a couple of mouse clicks without needing to leave this section of the Control Panel. The change is instant, so you will be able to request the EPP transfer code for the specific domain right away.
