If you decide to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you’ll have to pass through several safety procedures. One of them is getting a unique EPP code from the present domain registrar – provided that you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the domain owner’s mailbox and nobody else can obtain it. You will need to provide this code to the new domain name registrar, otherwise they won’t be able to initiate the domain name transfer. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may include digits or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy/paste the correct code. As an additional safety measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be altered regularly. Some registrars call this code a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting
You can obtain the EPP transfer code for any domain that you have registered through our company with only several mouse clicks from the exact same Hepsia Control Panel that you’ll use to manage your shared website hosting account. Once you visit the Registered Domains section, you will see all your domain names conveniently listed in alphabetical order. If some extension supports transfers between domain name registrars with an EPP transfer code, you’ll notice an EPP button on the right side of the respective domain name. If you click that button, the code will be sent to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain. If needed, you can modify the contact details, including the email, without needing to leave this section of the Control Panel, in case the currently listed email isn’t valid anymore.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you register a domain under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to get its EPP transfer code with just one single mouse click, if you decide to move it to a different domain name registrar. All it takes to accomplish that is to sign in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to navigate to the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be to the right of the domain. Of course, such a button will be available only if the given Top-Level Domain extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within sixty seconds, an email that includes the EPP code will be sent to the domain registrant’s mailbox associated with that domain. You can modify the latter through the very same section of the Control Panel – if the one that is presently listed in the WHOIS details isn’t valid. Since the update will propagate without any delay, you can request the EPP transfer code immediately after that.
