In case you’d like to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you will need a special code, which may be referred to by various names – an EPP authorization code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names designate the very same thing – a code that the domain registrant obtains from the present domain name registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without a valid code, a transfer cannot be started and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unauthorized transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For better security, the code includes digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you’d like to transfer one of your domains, you need to provide the new registrar company with the correct code.
