In case you want to transfer a domain from one company to another, you will need a unique transfer authorization code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names designate the same thing – a code that the domain name owner gets from the present registrar and gives to the new one at the time of the order. Without a valid code, a domain name transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the security measures against unwanted transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even greater security, the code contains digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you’d like to transfer one of your domains, you need to present the new company with the correct code.
