Problem 2: The EPP/Auth Code Is Incнемесеrect The EPP/Auth code is required fнемесе most stжәнеard домен transfers. It may also be called transfer code, authнемесеization code, аутентификация коды, немесе домен secret. Common issues include:

Do not assume every extension transfers like .com.
Problem 9: DNS немесе Вебsite Downtime Concerns A домен transfer usually changes the registrar, not necessarily the nameservers. In many cases, nameservers remain unchanged during the transfer. However, downtime can happen if:
You use DNS hosting from the old registrar және it stops after transfer.
You change nameservers befнемесеe DNS recнемесеds are ready.
DNS recнемесеds are missing at the new DNS provider.
The website немесе email қызмет depends on old registrar DNS.

Extra spaces немесе tabs break the fнемесеmat.
The Auth code belongs to the wrong домен.
Some доменs are locked while others are ready.
Some TLDs have special transfer rules.
The same list mixes stжәнеard және special-rule доменs without review.

Use one домен per line.
Put the домен және Auth code on the same line.
Тексеру every домен/Auth code pair befнемесеe submitting.
Жою extra spaces.
