The EPP code, also known as an authorization or auth code, is a secret and unique set of characters that the domain registrar assigns to a domain, and most domain transfers require it. Get the EPP code for a domain registered at Hostinger in the Domains<\/strong> section of Hostinger dashboard. To transfer a domain to Hostinger, get the EPP code from your current registrar.<\/p>

Why the EPP code matters<\/h2>

This code is a safeguard <\/b>that, along with other security measures (e.g., domain lock<\/a><\/b>), guarantees that only the rightful owner can transfer a domain<\/a>. If the wrong EPP code is provided when setting up a domain transfer, the transfer will not be completed.<\/p>

The EPP code is required to transfer most TLDs, such as .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, and .us.<\/p>

Get your EPP code<\/h2>

At Hostinger<\/b>, you can find the EPP code<\/a> in the Domains<\/a><\/b> section of Hostinger dashboard <\/b><\/p>

To transfer a domain to Hostinger<\/a> from another registrar, get the EPP code from that registrar. Step-by-step guides are available for GoDaddy<\/strong><\/a>, Bluehost<\/strong><\/a>, and HostGator<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>

Exceptions<\/h2>

There are some exceptions, such as .CO.UK<\/a><\/b> or .EU<\/a> <\/b>domains, that use a different code.<\/p>

Some domain registrars don’t show the EPP code in their interface, so you may need to ask your domain provider to share the EPP code with you directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
