EXTENSIBLE PROVISIONING PROTOCOL (EPP) CODE OR AUTHORISATION KEY: A SAFEGUARD AGAINST ILLEGAL DOMAIN TRANSFER
Should a registrant wish to transfer his/her domain name from one registrar to another, the registrant requires the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) Code. The EPP Code  is the authorization key provided by your current registrar for your domain and required by your new registrar to complete the transfer for a domain name. You must obtain the EPP code from your current registrar to facilitate the transfer of your domain name.

The EPP Code also known as authorization code, or transfer code is the domain key to safeguard your domain name against hijackers; the code provides an extra security measure against unauthorized transfers of domain names. The EPP code is unique to that domain name. It protects your right as a domain name registrant and it ensures that you have permission to transfer your domain from one registrar to another.

A Message from The President
PRESIDENT’S SPEECH
A GOOD TIME TO REACH OUT TO THE LESS PRIVILEGED IN THE SOCIETY
It would be great if we could live our lives without a thought about COVID-19 and the rampage that it is leaving in its wake. Sometimes, we cannot help but long for those days when we could gather together, shake hands and hug one another. These activities seem to be such a long time ago.

In many cities across the world, families have lost one or more people to the dreaded coronavirus Pandemic which does not seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. As neighbours, members of the society, we mourn the dead, we comfort the living, give hope to the sick and give standing ovations for the medical personnel, their support teams and all others working night and day to save lives and keep the virus at bay. The world is winning. There is hope that the vaccine to prevent the coronavirus would be made available soon.
