In case you would like to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you will need a unique transfer code, which may be called by various names – an EPP key, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names designate the very same thing – a code that the domain owner gets from the current registrar and provides to the new one at the time of the order. Without a genuine code, a domain transfer process cannot be started and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unsanctioned transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater security, the code contains digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you want to transfer one of your domain names, you have to provide the new registrar company with the correct code.
