If you would like to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you will have to go through a couple of safety procedures. One of them is getting a special EPP authentication code from the current registrar – on the condition that you are the domain registrant, since the code is emailed to the domain owner’s email address and nobody else can see it. You’ll have to provide this code to the new registrar, or else they won’t be able to initiate the domain name transfer process. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of digits or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy and paste the right code. As an additional protection measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be reset regularly. Some domain registrars call this code a domain secret, an Auth key or a domain password as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Web Hosting
You can get the EPP transfer code for any domain name that you’ve registered with our company with only a few clicks from the same Hepsia Control Panel that you will use to manage your web hosting account. Once you go to the Registered Domains section, you will find all your domains conveniently displayed in alphabetical order. In case a particular TLD extension supports transfers between domain registrars with an EPP transfer code, you’ll see an EPP button on the right side of the respective domain. If you click on that button, the code will be sent to the email address associated with the Registrant contact for the given domain. If you wish, you can update the contact details, including the email, without needing to leave this Control Panel section, if the current email isn’t valid any longer.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you visit the Registered Domains section, you will find an EPP logo next to your domain names, on the condition that their extensions support transfers between domain registrars with such a code. All codes are sent automatically by our system to the registrant’s email to ensure that only the owner of the domain name can receive this information. If the currently listed address is no longer valid, you can update it with a few clicks of the mouse without the need to leave this section of the Control Panel. The update is instant, so you will be able to request the EPP code for the particular domain name right away.
