Hi all
I am completely new in the domain industry and new member in name pro. When we do history research of any domain then following words are found. Please explain me the meaning in detailed of the following words used for domain
1. "deleted"
2. "transferred"
3. "removed"
4. "added"

I mean when domain is said to be deleted, transferred, removed or added?
What is different between domain deleted and removed?

It would be grateful for me if anybody explains the meaning of these words

What is different between domain deleted and removed?
It depends on the context.

If the context is a domain registrar, then:
  • Deleted: The domain name has been deleted from the registrar and registry, and the domain name can be registered at any registrar (on a first-come, first-served basis), assuming it is not restricted by the registry and no one else has registered it.
  • Transferred: Either: (1) The domain name has been transferred from one registrar (e.g., GoDaddy) to another registrar (e.g., Dynadot), or (2) the domain name has been transferred from one account to another account at the same registrar (e.g., Dynadot).
    • #1 may be called an external transfer (inter-registrar transfer).
    • #2 may be called a "push" or "change of account" at the registrar (intra-registrar transfer).
  • Removed: The domain name has been removed from your account at the registrar. The domain name may have been moved to another account at the same registrar, transferred to a different registrar, awarded to an expired auction winner if the domain name was past expiration, etc.
  • Added: The domain name has been recently added to your account at the registrar. The domain name may have been newly registered, transferred from another registrar, etc.

If the context is a domain marketplace, then:
  • Deleted: The domain name was deleted from the marketplace (possibly, it was only removed from your account). It may indicate that it is not allowed to be listed on the marketplace.
  • Transferred: The domain name has been moved to its buyer's account.
  • Removed: The domain name was removed from your account at the marketplace. It typically means that you removed it from your account, as opposed to the marketplace service deleting it.
  • Added: The domain name was added to your marketplace account. It may not be listed for sale yet, but you may be able to configure its settings on the marketplace.

This is not an exhaustive list, as these words may mean slightly different things at different services.
