# Domain management in the Hosting Panel
> Learn how to use the Webcentral Hosting Panel to manage your domains.
This article describes how to use the Webcentral Hosting Panel to do domain management tasks, such as changing the domain's name servers and setting the registrar lock.
The information in this article only applies to domains purchased directly from Webcentral. If you purchased a domain from a third-party registrar, check their documentation instead for information about how to manage your domain.
## Viewing domain information
To view basic information about your domain, such as payment and registration dates, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the Hosting Panel at [https://theconsole.webcentral.au](https://theconsole.webcentral.au).
2. In the left sidebar, under **Products & Services**, click **Domains**:
3. On the **Domains** page, click the domain you want to configure.
You can filter the list of domains to only display active, canceled, or all domains. To do this, click the **Active**, **Cancelled**, or **All** tab.

## Setting the registrar lock for a domain

## Obtaining an EPP code
If you want to transfer your domain to another registrar, you must obtain an EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol) code first. The EPP code is an additional security measure that helps prevent unauthorized domain transfers.
Domain registrars may also refer to the EPP code as the *EPP key*, an *AuthInfo code*, a *transfer secret*, or something similar.
To obtain an EPP code, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the Hosting Panel at [https://theconsole.webcentral.au](https://theconsole.webcentral.au).
2. In the left sidebar, under **Products & Services**, click **Domains**:
3. On the **Domains** page, click the domain you want to configure.
You can filter the list of domains to only display active, canceled, or all domains. To do this, click the **Active**, **Cancelled**, or **All** tab.
4. Click **Get EPP Code (Non-UK Domains)**:
5. The Hosting Panel notifies you that the EPP code has been generated.
The EPP code is sent to the registrant e-mail address for the domain.
