If you decide to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you’ll have to go through a few security procedures. One of them is obtaining a special EPP authorization code from the current domain name registrar – on the condition that you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the owner's mailbox and nobody else can obtain it. You’ll need to provide this code to the new registrar, otherwise they won’t be able to initiate the domain transfer. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may contain digits or special characters such as dots or commas, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy and paste the right code. As an additional security measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain name may be altered regularly. Certain registrars call this code a domain secret, a domain password or an Auth key as well.

Getting the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain registered through us under a cloud hosting account is very easy. You will not have to switch between different user interfaces, since you can administer both your domain names and your shared web hosting account from the same location – our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel. To obtain the transfer code for any domain name, you just need to go to the Registered Domains section and to click the tiny EPP sign, which will be located on the right-hand side of each domain whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will email the code to the domain registrant’s email instantaneously. If you would like to change the email, you can do it from the very same section of the Control Panel with just a few clicks.
