Transferring a domain from one registrar company to another generally involves the use of a unique transfer code, which different registrar companies call an EPP key, a domain name password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a security measure against unsanctioned transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain name and is issued by the present domain registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer process cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and generally contains numbers and special characters, so as to obstruct unauthenticated individuals from deciphering it. Some registrar companies even alter the codes of domains registered through them every now and then for greater security.
