In case you wish to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you’ll need a unique domain name authorization code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP authorization code, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, etc. All these names designate the very same thing – a code that the domain owner gets from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one at the time of the order. Without an authentic code, a domain name transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unsolicited transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For greater safety, the code contains numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you want to transfer one of your domains, you need to provide the new company with the right code.
