In case you would like to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you’ll need a special code, which may be referred to by many names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, etc. All these names designate the exact same thing – a code that the domain registrant obtains from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without an authentic code, a domain transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unsolicited transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For better safety, the code includes numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you need to present the new registrar with the correct code.
