In case you want to transfer a domain from one registrar to another, you’ll need a special transfer code, which may be called by different names – an EPP key, an Auth code, a domain password, etc. All these names designate the exact same thing – a code that the domain owner receives from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without an authentic code, a domain name transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unauthorized transfers used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even better security, the code includes digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you’d like to transfer one of your domains, you have to provide the new registrar with the correct code.
