Transferring a domain from one company to another normally entails the use of a unique domain authorization code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a protection mechanism against unapproved transfers with all generic and with most country-code extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain name and is issued by the current registrar. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer procedure cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly comprises of numbers and special characters, so as to obstruct unauthorized persons from guessing it. Certain domain name registrars even alter the codes of domain names registered through them after a particular amount of time for even greater security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting

If you have a domain registered through our company and you have a shared website hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is incredibly easy. You won’t need to switch between different admin dashboards, since you can administer all your domains through the exact same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to administer your web hosting account. You’ll see all existing domains the moment you log in and to the right of the domain names whose extensions require an EPP authorization code in order to be transferred, you’ll see a mini EPP icon. All it takes to get the code is to click on the icon. The code is always sent to the domain name owner’s mailbox, so in case the one that you specified originally is not valid anymore, you can update it with several clicks from the same section.
