They keep sending me an Authorization Code to transfer my domain and the transfer keeps getting rejected b/c the code is wrong. When I ask iPower about it they just send me the same code again and again. Yeah thanks geniuses, it didn't work the first 4 times, it's not going to work now. They are making it impossible to transfer away from them. What a pain. Also, if you do go with iPower (obviously I strongly recommend against that!) or if you're already with them, never ever agree to the autobill feature. Once on, they will not turn it off. You may think you've turned it off in your console or after talking to a rep on the phone but it will magically come back on and your card will be charged. I learned this the hard way.

One point to add: the easiest way to handle the datbase (if you're simply moving servers and keeping the domain) is to use the cPanal backup wizzard. You can backup any database here and have it downloaded as a gzip. In the new server cpanel, you should now create a database with the exact same name as the one you had on the old server. Now do a restore database routine in the new cpanel and upload the saved database from your old site. IF it's the same name, cPanal will recognise it and upload it, overwriting the empty database you just created. The advantage of this method is that using cPanal restore routine avoids any timeouts for large database imports that can happen in phpmyadmin. Done this a few times and it's been flawless. Also much easier for the novice who might feel unsure of PhpMyadmin The best tut yet, thanks for urilising the cpanel funtions in file manager.

It used the password that I used to originally set up the iPower account several years ago. I haven't been able to figure out what the passwords are for the other accounts. I tried all the passwords I remember and also 'domain' but haven't had any luck. This is terrible! I was able to login to only one of my four domains.

Send it from the account that is listed for the Adminstration Contact. I also included a paste of the whois info for the account in question. Got the EPP for four domains inside of an hour.

They could have changed their system login or something. Remember, your domain name isn’t owned by IPOWER, they simply set up an API as a reseller of Tucows, (OpenSRS). I’d imagine their system has been updated and evolved with php5 and reseller APIs. Best of luck to you! If you get into a bind, call opensrs or email their support team explaining the issue and let us know how it goes.

I tried with the same combination of my ipower account and it doesn't work. I submitted a ticket and I am awaiting, but if you know other way that would help.
