# Hello

## Description

The _Hello_ command is the standard request of the EPP protocol. A response (greeting) is received as an answer with information about the EPP server and its available extensions (schemas).

This command for example could be either declared at the root element of a request or at the respective position inline.

Note

The _Hello_ command can be used to keep the [EPP Session](/en/api/epp-hello/) alive.
