If you want to transfer a domain from one company to another, you’ll need a special domain authorization code, which may be called by different names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth code, a domain name password, etc. All these names designate the very same thing – a code that the domain name registrant receives from the present domain registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without a genuine code, a transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the security mechanisms against unsolicited transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even greater safety, the code contains numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you have to supply the new domain registrar with the right code.
