Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another normally involves the use of a unique 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 measure 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 and is issued by the present registrar. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer procedure cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and ordinarily includes numbers and special characters, so as to prevent unauthenticated individuals from breaking it. Certain registrars even reset the codes of domain names registered through them every now and then for greater safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Website Hosting
You can obtain the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain that you’ve registered through us with just a couple of clicks of the mouse from the same Hepsia Control Panel that you will use to manage your cloud website hosting account. As soon as you visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll find all your domains conveniently listed in alphabetical order. In case a particular extension supports transfers between domain name registrars with an EPP code, you will see an EPP button on the right side of the respective domain. If you click that button, the code will be emailed to the email associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain dame. If needed, you can update the contact information, including the email address, without the need to leave this Control Panel section, in case the currently entered email address isn’t valid any longer.
