So I have a friend who is also a client. This friend wants to register a domain, but looking at the whois information shows the domain has already been registered by dropcatch.com.
The data lookup shows that the domain expired last month and has entered the "redemptionPeriod". The best I can tell, it should enter "pendingDelete" in a couple of weeks. As far as I can tell, the domain is not listed on their website to be bought or auctioned (I combed through the listings alphabetically; I did not type the domain into their search function). Is it possible that it will actually be publicly available again some time next month? And if so, what is the likelihood that I will be able to grab it instead of another drop catch service?
I'd appreciate some advice from someone who is a bit more experienced on this than I am. I am not sure whether we should attempt to go ahead and work with dropcatch.com to try and secure the name at a higher cost or to take our chances and try to get it cheaper but risk someone else grabbing it before us.
Thank you
