Godaddy EPP Code

by Justin Ball on January 31st, 2008

I keep trying to setup new websites because I like to pollute the internet.  :-) .  Ok not really, but I want to setup another domain on my bluehost account because I can have as many as I like and I figure that the world could use more of my blather.  If you are transferring a domain name or need the EPP code from Godaddy.com for any reason it can be hard to find.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Login to Godaddy
  2. Go to the domain you want to transfer
  3. Look for this line:
    1. Authorization Code: Send by Email
  4. Click that and you will get the EPP code via email
  5. All done

    Excellent! I just wanted to confirm that the Authorization code was the same as the EPP code for transfering domain names and there you did it!

    It is so good when people share the knowledge don’t you think?

  • Rogerio Job

    Thanks for very helpful info Justin! Otherwise I had no idea where to find EPP on my Goddady account. Thanks!

  • Jon Ogden

    Don’t forget to unlock your domain at the same time – it’s about 3 checkboxes upwards of the one where you request the EPP

  • Sean

    Not only in godaddy you can also register the Domain name in the Tucktailsite also..

  • lannaw

    I had hard time of transferring one of my domains from Godaddy to somewhere else. Mainly it was to cancel the privacy protection from that domain. I finally solved that problem through Godday's hotline. Here is the post I've written of the whole process:

  • http://StudySports.net John Girdwood

    Oh my goodness, I had to look again to find this because go-dud locked my site and blocked my transfer and I had to start all over again. I can't stand them and I root against Danica Patrick because of it!!!

  • Igygiy

    You are awesome. It took me 30 minuts to NOT find it… and 30 seconds to find with your 3 steps!
    Thanks!

  • Ima Guest

    I Google everything where I know I'll have issues trying to find it. Inevitably someone has already encountered the problem, solved it, and then blogged about it. I love the Internet – it has everything. Thanks for the tip on how to find the EPP authorization code. GoDaddy's DNS manager needs work – it would have saved a lot of time if I could have selected all my domains and then sent the EPP code for those selected domains. Oh well.

  • seaniechaos

  • hamiltino

  • Anonymous

    I think it’s the technical email.

    Godaddy is bitch to do anything, they have their own crap way of doing things which is very confusing and unlike vast majority of host providers.
