In case you want to transfer a domain name from one registrar company to another, you’ll need a special authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth code, a domain password, etc. All these names designate the exact same thing – a code that the domain name owner gets from the current domain name registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without a genuine code, a domain transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unsolicited transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even greater safety, the code comprises of digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you would like to transfer one of your domain names, you have to present the new company with the correct code.
