If you would like to transfer a domain from one registrar company to another, you will need a special code, which may be referred to by many names – an EPP key, an Auth code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names designate one and the same thing – a code that the domain name registrant obtains 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 cannot be started and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unsanctioned transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For greater security, the code includes digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you wish to transfer one of your domains, you need to present the new domain registrar with the correct code.
