If you’d like to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you will need a special authorization code, which may be called by many names – an EPP authorization code, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, etc. All these names designate the exact same thing – a code that the domain name owner receives from the current domain name registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without an authentic code, a domain name transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection measures against unwanted transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even better security, the code contains numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you wish to transfer one of your domains, you need to supply the new registrar company with the right code.
