If you wish to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you’ll need a special code, which may be referred to by various names – an EPP authorization code, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, and so on. All these names designate one and the same thing – a code that the domain name owner receives from the current registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without a valid code, a transfer process cannot be started and this is one of the protection measures against unauthorized transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even better security, the code contains numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you’d like to transfer one of your domains, you need to supply the new company with the right code.
