## Obtaining an EPP code

If you want to transfer your domain to another registrar, you must obtain an EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol) code first. The EPP code is an additional security measure that helps prevent unauthorized domain transfers.

To obtain an EPP code, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Hosting Panel at [https://clients.mochahost.com](https://clients.mochahost.com).

2. In the left sidebar, under **Products & Services**, click **Domains**:

   ![](https://files.readme.io/8e1eddc41949fe724b1ad1cb9d8b846f22f94614ebbd4b5e5ce457dd7ee8ba84-image.png)

5. The Hosting Panel notifies you that the EPP code has been generated.
   > 📘 Note
