Transferring a domain from one company to another generally entails the use of a unique authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP key, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a security measure against unsanctioned transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the particular domain and is issued by the present domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer process cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and frequently contains numbers and special symbols, so as to stop unauthorized individuals from guessing it. Certain registrars even alter the codes of domains registered through them after a certain period of time for greater safety.
