What is an EPP Code?

An EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol) Code is a unique authorization key assigned to each domain name. It is used to verify domain ownership and is required when transferring a domain from one registrar to another.

Why is an EPP Code Required? ✔ Prevents unauthorized domain transfers ✔ Ensures the domain owner consents to the transfer ✔ Helps maintain domain security

2. Click on My Domains to view a list of all the domains registered under your account.
3. Find the domain you want to transfer and click on it or select the Manage button next to it.

Step 3: Unlock Your Domain

Before you can transfer your domain, it must be unlocked.

1. Inside the Domain Management page, locate the Registrar Lock or Domain Lock option.
2. If the domain is locked, switch it to the Unlocked state.
3. Click Save Changes if prompted.

✔ Unlocking your domain ensures that it is eligible for transfer.

Step 4: Obtain Your EPP Code from Bytesis

1. In the Domain Management section, look for an option like Get EPP Code or Retrieve Auth Code.
2. Click on the option to generate the EPP code.
3. The EPP code will either appear on the screen or be sent to your registered email address.
4. Copy the EPP code and store it securely.

✔ If you can’t find the EPP code, check the Management Tools or Additional Settings tabs. ✔ If it’s still not visible, contact Bytesis support for assistance.

Step 5: Start the Transfer with the New Registrar

Once you have your EPP code, follow these steps to initiate the transfer with the new domain registrar:

1. Visit the website of the registrar where you want to transfer your domain.
2. Look for the Domain Transfer section and enter your domain name.
3. When prompted, enter the EPP code you obtained from Bytesis.
4. Follow any additional steps required by the new registrar (such as email verification).
5. Confirm the transfer request through the email received from the new registrar.

📌 Note: Domain transfers may take anywhere from 5 to 7 days to complete, depending on the domain registrar’s policies.

Tips for a Smooth Domain Transfer

✔ Ensure your domain is at least 60 days old – Most registrars impose a 60-day lock period before allowing transfers. ✔ Check your WHOIS contact details – The admin email address on your domain should be correct because the EPP code and transfer confirmation emails are sent there. ✔ Disable WHOIS privacy temporarily – Some registrars require WHOIS privacy to be turned off during the transfer process. ✔ Renew your domain if needed – If your domain is close to expiry, renew it before transferring to avoid disruptions.
