What is My EPP Code or Authorization Key?

An EPP code is an authorization key provided by your old registrar and required by your new registrar to complete a registration transfer. You must contact the old registrar to get it.

If HostGator is your registrar, you can get your EPP code by completing the following steps. The directions are slightly different depending on when and how they were registered.

Domains Attached to a SiveHost Billing Account

If your domain is attached to a SiveHost billing account, then you can manage your domain through our website, including obtaining the EPP code.

(If you registered your domain via a support ticket or at the same time you purchased your hosting account, a billing account is automatically created when you registered the domain.)

Requesting Your EPP Code

  1. Log in to your client area page at:
    https://sive.host/clientarea.php
  2. Once you're logged in, click Manage Domains.
  3. You will see a list of domains that you have registered through SiveHost. Click the one for which you would like the EPP code.
  4. Under Overview, you will see EPP code in the list of details for your domain name. This will be the EPP code you want.
If your domain does not appear in the domain management tool, please create a ticket to our Billing department with your request.

SiveHost/eNom & Registry Rocket

If SiveHost/eNom is your old registrar and you managed your domain via Registry Rocket in the past, please create a ticket to our Billing department with your request. We can only send the code to the Registrant contact email found in your registration WHOIS information.

If your domain is not attached to a SiveHost billing account, you can request that we attach the domain to your web hosting billing account, or create a billing account for the domain.
