How long until you can register a domain that has expired? I see one that expired September 29, but i cant register it yet

Name is probably in grace period. Should enter redemption period soon, could last 2 months and even more before it's realeased.

Look through that - But it can be off a bit , Registrars are acting differently on some extensions ATM

Not to mention you have to worry about Peeps Back-Ordering

Picking up dropped domains is a lot more complicated than it should be. But until ICANN discover a better solution we're stuck playing their annoying rules.

Here's a guide to the whole process of domain expiration: http://www.dropwatch.com/blog/?p=8. It will give you an idea on how long you'll need to wait before you can register an expired domain.

yeah you got to watch for the old owner he might buy it back

Element · 10-15-2005, 10:47 AM

The owner might buy it back if its a good domain.

Takes usually 45 days before ICANN/register relists the domain. Until then you'll have to wait.

ICANN/registers are getting very strict on that now, since that transfer a couple months ago (the one with Yahoo and a Australian register). Locked godaddy down cold for weeks, too.

If the domain name is a good one there is a large chance that the original owner is going to get it back.

Otherwise it is a good chance that somebody, or many people have backordered the domain name.

As the others said, the grace period.

Waiting is long and tiring. And frustrating when you forget for a week then go and check and see that some other so-and-so has registered.

As you can tell, I speak from experience.

Yes If the old owner gets a chance
I recently had 5 Names that expired because a Registrar who shall remain nameless refused to transfer them until they had expired . Only 20 days of the supposed 45 day grace period had past when magically all 5 had been re-regged by a company listed at the same address as the registrar, all have since been sold to other people.
