If you decide to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you’ll need to pass through a few safety procedures. One of them is getting a unique EPP authentication code from the current registrar – on the condition that you are the domain registrant, since the code is emailed to the owner's email account and nobody else can see it. You will need to provide this code to the new registrar company, or else they won’t be able to begin the domain name transfer. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may include digits or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy & paste the correct code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain may be changed regularly. Some companies refer to this code as a domain password, a domain secret or an Auth key as well.

Getting the EPP transfer authorization code for any domain registered through our company under a shared web hosting account is stunningly easy.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can swiftly get the transfer authorization code for any domain registered under a semi-dedicated server account if you want to transfer it. This can be achieved through the same Control Panel, via which you manage your account, so you will not have to go through different admin panels. All you will need to do is go to the Control Panel’s domain management section and click on the EPP button associated with the domain name that you would like to transfer, as long as its extension supports transfers with a code. Our system emails all codes automatically to the domain name owner’s email listed in the domain name’s WHOIS record, so in case the address that is currently listed is outdated, you can update it with several clicks of the mouse without the need to leave the Control Panel’s domain management section.
