Epik alternative for domain transfers

What happened to Epik's ownership?

Epik changed hands, and its accreditation moved to a new company. ICANN approved moving it from Epik Inc. to Epik LLC in late January 2024, according to Domain Incite on 4 February 2024. The same report says Epik LLC, a company of Registered Agents Inc., bought Epik's business in June 2023.

Epik said it had removed "a handful of problematic clients" and that former owners, including Rob Monster, had no involvement. ICANN called Epik LLC "completely independent of Epik, Inc.", per the same Domain Incite report.

What did the 2021 Epik breach expose?

On 13 September 2021, attackers released about 180 GB of Epik data, according to Wikipedia's summary of press reports. About 15 million unique email addresses were exposed, according to the same summary. Many were WHOIS records of people who were not Epik customers.

Epik's breach notice filed with the Maine Attorney General lists 110,000 people affected and a discovery date of 15 September 2021.

The breach is five years old and the company has new owners. It still shows why the amount of data a registrar keeps matters. TransferOffshore asks for one verified email per domain, which ICANN requires, and no ID document. With Domain protection, the registry holds our company's details instead of yours.

What could we not verify about Epik in 2026?

We could not verify Epik's current payment methods, privacy service, ID rules, transfer terms or disclosure policy. epik.com returned an error to every request on 19 October 2026.

On Trustpilot, reviews from September and October 2025 allege DNS and account problems. These are individual reports, not verified facts.
