EPP Transfer Protection

Find out more information on EPP Transfer Protection and exactly how it really protects a domain.

If you’d like to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you’ll need a special transfer authorization code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names designate the very same thing – a code that the domain name owner obtains from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without an authentic code, a domain transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the security mechanisms against unwanted transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even greater safety, the code comprises of numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you want to transfer one of your domain names, you have to provide the new registrar company with the correct code.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to obtain its EPP transfer authorization code with only a click, if you decide to transfer it to a different domain registrar. All it takes to achieve that is to log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, to go to the Registered Domains section and to click the EPP button, which will be next to the domain name. Of course, this button will be there only if the particular extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within 60 seconds, an email message that includes the EPP code will be sent to the registrant’s email account associated with that domain name. You can change the latter through the same section of the Control Panel – if the one that’s currently listed in the WHOIS database is not a valid one. Since the update will take effect without any delays, you can request the EPP transfer code directly after that.
