🔗 What is EPP?

The Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) is the standard protocol used by domain registrars and registries to manage domain names.

Every time a domain is registered, renewed, updated, transferred, or deleted, EPP is working behind the scenes to securely communicate those changes between the registrar and the registry.

Think of EPP as the language that keeps the domain name industry running smoothly and efficiently.

Take responsibility for that first impression and check your name on : https://zarc.web.za/whois

If something feels off, trust your instincts, don’t engage.
