EPP authorization code

The EPP code is a transfer authorization key. It is used by a lot of domain name types (TLDs) during the transfer procedure. You can obtain the EPP transfer authorization key from the domain name's current registrar. If you are trying to transfer a domain name to us, you should contact the company where you registered the domain name.

If you are trying to transfer a domain name away from us or you simply wish to acquire the EPP transfer authorization key of a domain name that is registered with us, you can do that via the Domain Manager section (Site Management > Domain Manager) of your Web Hosting Control Panel. Next to each domain name there are three icons - you must click the one in the middle that reads "EPP".

Once you click on the EPP icon you will see a small pop-up window with the following text "Click on the button to request an EPP authorization code for your domain." and the button "Request EPP key" next to it. After you click on that button, the EPP key will be sent via e-mail to the Registrant contact e-mail address specified in the WHOIS record of the domain name.

If you do not receive the EPP transfer authorization key within one hour, please make sure that you have provided a correct e-mail address in the WHOIS record. If you need to change that e-mail address, please refer to the article Updating the contact details (WHOIS) of a domain.
