This article provides you with information regarding domain EPP/ Authorization codes.



An ‘Authorisation or EPP code’  provides an extra level of security for the domain name registration.

The Auth-Info code is unique for each domain name and is assigned by the registrar at the time the domain name is registered.


A confirmation of your authorization code is required by the Registry in order to transfer a domain name with the extension .com, .net, .org, .biz, and .info to 1-grid.


Local domains such as .co.za do not require an EPP code for transfer they also do not have the domain locking functionality so these types of domains are ready for transfer at any time.


Authorization codes must be recovered from your current registrar prior to initiating the domain name transfer request.

If you are transferring your domain away from 1-grid, then we will provide you with the Authorisation code after you have terminated your account.
