Transferring a domain name from one company to another generally involves the use of a special authorization code, which different companies call an EPP authentication code, a domain password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a safety measure against unauthorized transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the domain name owner and is provided by the present domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and ordinarily contains numbers and special symbols, so as to impede unauthenticated people from breaking it. Some domain registrars even alter the codes of domain names registered through them after a particular interval of time for better safety.
EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting
If you’ve got a shared hosting plans, you’ve registered a domain with us and you want to transfer it, you can get its EPP authentication code with less than several clicks of the mouse. When you sign into your Hepsia Control Panel and navigate to the Registered Domains section, you will see all the domain names that you have registered with us listed in alphabetical order. To the right of each domain name, you will notice a mini EPP icon for all domain extensions that need a code in order to be transferred between domain name registrars. Clicking the icon will email the EPP code to the registrant’s email address immediately. In the same section you can also see and eventually edit the email, if the one there is not valid anymore.

In case the current email address is not valid anymore, you can modify it with several clicks without the need to leave this Control Panel section.
