In case you would like to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you’ll need a special domain name authorization code, which may be referred to by many names – an EPP authorization code, an Auth code, a domain name password, etc. All these names denote the exact same thing – a code that the domain registrant receives from the current domain registrar and gives to the new one at the time of the order. Without a genuine code, a transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unsolicited transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For better security, the code includes numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you want to transfer one of your domain names, you have to provide the new domain registrar with the right code.
