In case you want to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you will need a special transfer code, which may be called by many names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, etc. All these names denote the same thing – a code that the domain owner gets from the current registrar and provides to the new one during the order process. Without a genuine code, a domain transfer process cannot be started and this is one of the safety measures against unwanted transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For greater security, the code contains numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you need to supply the new domain registrar with the correct code.
