In case you’d like to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you’ll need a special authorization code, which may be referred to by various names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, etc. All these names designate the exact same thing – a code that the domain registrant receives from the present domain registrar and provides to the new one during the order procedure. Without a genuine code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unsolicited transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For better security, the code includes numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you wish to transfer one of your domain names, you have to supply the new company with the right code.
