If you wish to transfer a domain from one registrar company to another, you’ll need a special transfer authorization code, which may be called by various names – an EPP key, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, etc. All these names refer to the very same thing – a code that the domain registrant gets from the current domain registrar and provides to the new one during the order process. Without a genuine code, a domain name transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety measures against unsolicited transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even better safety, the code includes digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you’d like to transfer one of your domains, you have to provide the new domain name registrar with the correct code.
