In case you wish to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you’ll need a special code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, etc. All these names designate one and the same thing – a code that the domain name owner gets from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without a genuine code, a domain transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unsolicited transfers used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For better security, the code contains numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you want to transfer one of your domains, you have to present the new domain name registrar with the right code.
