In case you would like to transfer a domain name from one company to another, you’ll need a special transfer authorization code, which may be called by different names – an EPP key, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names designate the very same thing – a code that the domain name owner obtains from the current registrar and provides to the new one at the time of the order. Without an authentic code, a domain transfer procedure cannot be initiated and this is one of the security mechanisms against unsanctioned transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even better safety, the code contains numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you want to transfer one of your domain names, you need to supply the new domain registrar with the right code.
