If you would like to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you’ll need a special transfer code, which may be called by many names – an EPP key, an Auth code, a domain password, etc. All these names designate the exact same thing – a code that the domain registrant obtains from the current domain registrar and gives to the new one at the time of the order. Without an authentic code, a domain transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unsanctioned transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For better safety, the code includes digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you need to provide the new registrar with the right code.

EPP Transfer Protection in Website Hosting

You can obtain the EPP transfer code for any domain that you’ve registered with us with only several clicks of the mouse from the same Hepsia Control Panel that you will use to manage your website hosting account. As soon as you visit the Registered Domains section, you’ll find all your domains neatly listed in alphabetical order. In case a certain TLD extension supports transfers between domain registrars with an EPP code, you’ll notice an EPP button to the right of the given domain name. If you click that button, the code will be sent to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the domain in question. If you wish, you can update the contact information, including the email address, without needing to leave this section of the Control Panel, if the current email isn’t valid any longer.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can effortlessly get the transfer code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you want to transfer it away. This can be achieved through the same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you will not have to go through different Control Panels. All you will have to do is visit the domain management section of the Control Panel and click on the EPP button associated with the domain that you would like to transfer, provided that its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain registrant’s email address listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so in case the email that is currently listed is obsolete, you can modify it with a couple of clicks without the need to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
