If you want to transfer a domain from one company to another, you’ll need a special transfer code, which may be called by many names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, etc. All these names designate one and the same thing – a code that the domain owner receives from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one during the order process. Without a genuine code, a transfer process cannot be started and this is one of the safety measures against unapproved transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even better security, the code includes numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you need to present the new domain registrar with the right code.
