Transferring a domain name from one company to another traditionally involves the use of a unique transfer authorization code, which different companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a protection measure against unsolicited transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain name registrant and is provided by the current domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and commonly includes numbers and special symbols, so as to obstruct unauthorized persons from guessing it. Some registrars even alter the codes of domains registered through them after a particular amount of time for even better security.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Web Hosting
Getting the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain registered through our company under a cloud web hosting account is remarkably easy. You will not have to log in and out of different Control Panels, since you can administer both your domain names and your hosting account from one location – our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. To obtain the EPP transfer code for any domain name, you simply have to visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the mini EPP symbol, which will be situated to the right of any domain name whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will send the code to the registrant’s email address right away. If you wish to modify the email, you can do it from the very same section of the hosting Control Panel with just several clicks.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can effortlessly get the transfer code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you would like to transfer it away. This can be accomplished through the very same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you won’t have to go through different Control Panels. All you have to do is go to the domain management section of the Control Panel and click on the EPP button associated with the domain that you want to transfer, on the condition that its TLD extension supports transfers with such a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain name registrant’s email listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so in case the email that is currently listed is out of date, you can modify it with a few clicks of the mouse without the need to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
