If you would like to transfer a domain from one company to another, you will need a special authorization code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP key, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names refer to the very same thing – a code that the domain name registrant receives from the present registrar and gives to the new one during the order procedure. Without a valid code, a domain transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the protection mechanisms against unsolicited transfers used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even better security, the code comprises of numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you want to transfer one of your domain names, you have to supply the new domain name registrar with the right code.
