If you’d like to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you’ll need a special domain name authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth code, a domain password, etc. All these names denote the exact same thing – a code that the domain registrant gets from the present domain name registrar and provides to the new one during the order procedure. Without a genuine code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unapproved transfers used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater safety, the code contains numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you want to transfer one of your domains, you need to supply the new domain registrar with the correct code.
