If you’d like to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you will have to pass through several security steps. One of them is obtaining a special EPP authorization code from the present registrar – on the condition that you are the domain registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's email account and no one else can obtain it. You will need to give this code to the new domain name registrar, or else they will not be able to initiate the domain name transfer. The EPP codes are case-sensitive and may contain digits or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy and paste the right code. As an extra safety measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain may be changed regularly. Some companies call this code a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Web Hosting
Getting the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain registered through us under a shared web hosting account is astonishingly easy. You won’t need to log in and out of different platforms, as you can administer both your domain names and your shared hosting account from the very same location – our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can swiftly obtain the transfer authentication code for any domain name registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you decide to transfer it. This can be accomplished through the exact same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you won’t have to sign in and out of different user interfaces. All you will need to do is visit the Control Panel’s domain management section and click on the EPP button associated with the domain name that you want to transfer, as long as its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system sends all codes automatically to the domain owner’s email listed in the domain’s WHOIS record, so if the email that is currently listed is obsolete, you can change it with a few clicks of the mouse without needing to leave the domain management section of the Control Panel.
