What is an EPP code?
EPP Codes, also known as domain passwords or registry keys, are a security measure to prevent unauthorised domain transfers. When transferring domain registrations to your WP Hosting account, you’ll need to provide the EPP code to approve the transfer.
Where to find my EPP code?
The EPP code will typically be found within the domain management/domain settings section of your customer account with your current domain service provider. It may also be labelled as a Domain Key, Registry Key, or similar. If you’re unable to locate it, we recommend contacting your provider directly for assistance.
If the domain you’d like to transfer is in the .AU namespace – that is, any domain ending in .au (.com.au, .au, .org.au, .net.au etc), please see the .AU steps below.
Retrieving EPP codes for .AU domains
Specifically for domains in the .AU namespace, the EPP code/domain password can be retrieved directly from the Australian Domain Administration (auDA) site by visiting “pw.auda.org.au“.
Transferring your domain
Once you have your domain’s EPP code, please visit our domain registration page, wphosting.com.au/domain-names, and click “search” to find your domain name.
On the next screen, under Domain Configuration;
- Click the “Transfer Domain” option
- Then, ‘Add to Cart‘
You’ll be asked to enter the EPP code when completing the checkout process.
PLEASE NOTE: If you’re transferring a .AU domain, there is no cost involved. Other domains such as .com, will require you to renew when transferring and will be the cost of 1 year renewal.
