In case you would like to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you’ll need a unique transfer authorization code, which may be referred to by various names – an EPP key, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, etc. All these names designate the exact same thing – a code that the domain name registrant gets from the present domain name registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without a valid code, a domain transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unauthorized transfer attempts used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For greater security, the code comprises of digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you would like to transfer one of your domains, you need to present the new domain name registrar with the correct code.
