In case you’d like to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you will need a unique transfer code, which may be called by various names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names refer to the same thing – a code that the domain registrant obtains from the present domain registrar and provides to the new one during the order procedure. Without a valid code, a transfer cannot be started and this is one of the security measures against unwanted transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even greater security, the code contains numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you wish to transfer one of your domain names, you have to supply the new domain registrar with the right code.
