In case you wish to transfer a domain name from one registrar company to another, you will need a special transfer code, which may be called by different names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain password, and so on. All these names denote the exact same thing – a code that the domain name owner receives from the present registrar and provides to the new one upon ordering. Without an authentic code, a domain transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety measures against unsanctioned transfers used with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. For even greater safety, the code contains numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so if you want to transfer one of your domains, you have to supply the new domain registrar with the correct code.
