In case you’d like to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you’ll need a special transfer code, which may be referred to by many names – an EPP key, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, etc. All these names denote the exact same thing – a code that the domain owner obtains from the present domain name registrar and provides to the new one during the order process. Without a genuine code, a domain name transfer process cannot be started and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unapproved transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even better safety, the code contains digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you would like to transfer one of your domain names, you need to present the new registrar with the correct code.
