What is an EPP Code?

An EPP code (also known as an Auth Code) is a unique authorization key required to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another. It adds an extra layer of security to ensure that only the domain owner can initiate the transfer.

Why is an EPP Code Important?

The EPP code is crucial for:

  • Security: Prevents unauthorized domain transfers by ensuring that only the domain owner can request the transfer.
  • Domain Transfers: Required for transferring domain names such as .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, and .us between registrars.
