EPP code stands for Extensible Provisioning Protocol (Authorization code) is responsible for protecting your domain name against unauthorized transfers of domain name registrations thus is can be considered as a security code for your domain name. When you register any new domain an EPP code is generated for it and is saved at the global registry.
Whenever a domain transfer request is initiated by anyone he will have to provide EPP code [ Authorization key ] so that domain transfer request can be process. The EPP key is required for all .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info and .us domain names for transferring under some other domain registry. If you don’t have EPP code for above domain extensions then you can initiate transfer request. Your domain registrar will provide you EPP code [ Auth code ] once you register your domain with any domain registrar. You will have to provide this key code to your new domain registrar for whom you want to transfer your domain. ICANN regulations, a verification email or fax transfer authorization is also required. Main intention for using EPP code while transferring domains was to safeguard any domain transfer request so that unauthorized domain transfer request wont be entertained. Thus EPP code plays an important role while transferring domain names between two registrars. Following domain extensions requires EPP code for initiating domain transfer request. : .org, .info, .biz, .us, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn, .cn, .tw, .jp, .in etc…..
