Should I get Auth Code for my domain when I registered sent to my email? I searched for it but I found nothing.
I tried to move my domain to discountdomains.co.nz but they insisted I have to provide them with an Auth Code, the only thing I haven't got! I read somewhere that auth code isn't needed to move .com. But seems like that's not true.
