In case you would like to transfer a domain name from one registrar company to another, you’ll need a unique code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, etc. All these names denote the same thing – a code that the domain registrant receives from the present domain registrar and provides to the new one during the order process. Without a genuine code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unapproved transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For greater safety, the code comprises of numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you wish to transfer one of your domains, you have to supply the new registrar with the right code.
