Transferring a domain name from one company to another usually involves the use of a special authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP key, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unapproved transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. It can be obtained only by the domain name owner and is issued by the current domain registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and often includes digits and special characters, so as to obstruct unauthenticated persons from cracking it. Certain registrar companies even reset the codes of domains registered through them after a particular amount of time for even greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

If you’ve got a cloud website hosting plans, you have registered a domain with us and you want to transfer it, you can obtain its EPP transfer code with less than several clicks. When you sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and navigate to the Registered Domains section, you’ll see all the domains that you’ve registered through us listed alphabetically. On the right-hand side of each domain name, you’ll see a tiny EPP icon for all generic and country-code Top-Level Domain extensions that need an EPP code in order to be transferred between domain registrars. Clicking on the icon will email the EPP code to the domain registrant’s email address instantaneously. In the very same section you can also see and eventually change the email, if the one there isn’t valid any longer.
