What is an AuthCode? And what can I do with it?
An AuthInfo code is necessary for the transfer of a domain in almost all domain extensions. The AuthCode confirms to the new provider that you are authorized to transfer this specific domain.
Please note that an AuthInfo code can lose its validity, for example, if changes are made to the holder’s manager. For .de domains, AuthCodes are generally only valid for 30 days. In such cases, a new AuthInfo code may need to be generated.
For already deleted domains, no AuthInfo code can be created. In this case, the domain must first be restored, which generally incurs restoration fees.
To find out how to generate an AuthInfo code for domains managed by hosting.fr in the client portal, please refer to the support article “Where can I find my AuthCode?”.
An AuthInfo Code for transferring your domain to hosting.fr is generally provided by your old provider, either automatically via the respective client interface or directly by the provider’s support.
Only a few domain extensions such as .pl or .es follow a different transfer process without an AuthCode. If you are unsure or need more information, please contact hosting.fr support at support@hosting.fr for advice on the steps to follow.
