In case you’d like to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you will need a unique domain name authorization code, which may be called by many names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names designate the same thing – a code that the domain name owner gets from the current domain name registrar and provides to the new one during the order procedure. Without an authentic code, a transfer cannot be started and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unsanctioned transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater security, the code comprises of numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you want to transfer one of your domains, you have to supply the new domain registrar with the right code.
