In case you would like to transfer a domain from one company to another, you’ll need a special domain name authorization code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, etc. All these names denote the very same thing – a code that the domain name registrant receives from the current registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without a genuine code, a domain transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unauthorized transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even greater security, the code comprises of numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you’d like to transfer one of your domains, you have to supply the new registrar with the right code.
