I have a .com domain name that was registered with 123-reg, want to transfer it to AA, who do registrations, auto-renewal, DNS hosting, the whole lot in fact. I got an auth code / EPP code from 123-reg’s website, unlocked the domain and emailed the code to AA. I got an email back from AA sales telling me the code was bad.
Do such codes have to be used within a certain time? Is there a very short lifetime on these codes ?
What else could I have screwed up? It’s not the domain name itself, I checked that by copy-and-paste from the auth code result page, which helpfully quotes the domain name back to you as confirmation of what it’s referring to so I can’t really have got my domain names mixed up
