If you want to transfer your domain to or from MyHost, there is a code or password that makes this possible. This is different to the password that you use to log into MyHost or any other domain provider. It's known by various names, including:
- Auth Code
- UDAI
- EPP code
- Authorisation code
- Transfer code
- Auth-Info Code
- Domain Password (for .au domains)
Whatever name it goes by, the code is intended to indicate that the domain name owner has authorised the transfer.
Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
The Extensible Provisioning Protocol, or EPP, is a flexible protocol designed for allocating objects within registries over the Internet.
The motivation for the creation of EPP was to create a robust and flexible protocol that could provide communication between domain name registries and domain name registrars. These transactions are required whenever a domain name is registered or renewed, thereby also preventing Domain hijacking.
