If you wish to transfer a domain name from one registrar company to another, you will need a special code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, and so on. All these names refer to the very same thing – a code that the domain name registrant gets from the present domain registrar and gives to the new one upon ordering. Without an authentic code, a domain name transfer process cannot be started and this is one of the security mechanisms against unsolicited transfers used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater safety, the code includes digits and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you wish to transfer one of your domains, you need to provide the new domain name registrar with the correct code.
