I'm Trying To Transfer My Domain Name To Fast2host. Where Do I Find The Authorization Key?

How to Transfer a Domain Using an EPP or Authorization Code

Domain transfers require verification to ensure only the domain owner can authorize the move. This is done using an Authorization Code, also known as an EPP key, which is issued by your current registrar.

What is an EPP or authorization code

An EPP or authorization code is a unique code generated by your current registrar. It is validated by the domain registry during the transfer process.

Before starting the transfer
  • Request the EPP or authorization code from your current registrar.
  • Ensure the domain is unlocked at the current registrar.
  • Confirm the administrative email address on the domain is accessible.
.uk domains: Instead of an EPP code, you must change the IPS tag at your current registrar to ENOM.

  1. Log in to the client area.
  2. Click Domain Availability Checker.
  3. Enter your domain name and click Lookup.
  4. The system will show the domain as already registered. Click Order and continue.

Important: Do not cancel your domain at the current registrar while a transfer is in progress.
