In case you want to transfer a domain from one domain registrar to another, you will need a unique transfer code, which may be referred to by various names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names refer to the very same thing – a code that the domain registrant receives from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without an authentic code, a domain name transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety measures against unapproved transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater safety, the code comprises of digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you would like to transfer one of your domain names, you need to provide the new domain registrar with the right code.
