EPP Transfer Protection
Find out more details on EPP Transfer Protection and exactly how it really protects a domain name.
Transferring a domain name from one registrar company to another traditionally entails the use of a unique domain authorization code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain name password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unapproved transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. It can be obtained only by the domain name owner and is provided by the current registrar company. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and typically contains numbers and special characters, so as to hinder unauthorized individuals from cracking it. Some domain registrars even reset the codes of domains registered through them every now and then for greater security.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting
If you have a domain name registered through our company and you have a shared hosting account with us, getting its EPP transfer code is really easy. You won’t need to switch between different tools, since you can administer all your domains through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to administer your shared web hosting account. You will see all active domains the moment you sign in and next to the domain names whose extensions require a code in order to be transferred away, you’ll see a mini EPP icon. All it takes to get that code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain registrant’s mailbox, so in case the one that you gave at first is not valid any longer, you can update it with several clicks from the same section.
