What is domain authorization code? Where can I get it?

The authorization code is a 6 to 16 character code assigned by the registrar. The auth code is basically a password for the domain name. Auth codes are a security measure, ensuring that only the owner of the domain can make transfers.

If you do not know your auth code, you can obtain it from your registrar. Registrars are contractually required to provide the auth code upon the request by the registrant. More at http://buy.indiahosting.org/kb/servlet/KBServlet/faq1188.html.

- Sponsoring registrars can obtain the auth code for their sponsored domains by sending an EPP command to the registry. Registrars are only able to obtain auth codes for the domain names they sponsor.

- We advise that you change your auth code after successful domain transfer. You can do this through your new registrar.
