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