In case you want to transfer a domain from one company to another, you’ll need a special transfer authorization code, which may be called by multiple names – an EPP key, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, etc. All these names denote one and the same thing – a code that the domain name owner obtains from the present domain name registrar and provides to the new one during the order process. Without a genuine code, a transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unsolicited transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even greater 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 with the correct code.
