Here are the whois details of the domain name.

Created on..............: Tue, Jul 03, 2001

Record last updated on..: Thu, Jun 10, 2004

Registry Status: REGISTRAR-HOLD

-------

The domain is not yet avaiable for registration. What does this status mean? When will it be avaible for registration

 

[slaydragon]

it should be available for registration...i think the person parked it or hold it?

 

[MadAboutDomains]

For as long as it is marked: REGISTRAR-HOLD it will not be avaliable for registration

There is unfortunately no guarantee that any domain name is going to become available asd the owner could renew it at any time

A domain name with WHOIS information other than "This domain is available" are unavailable for registration and therefore still registered

It sounds like the registrar is holding it and not selling it.

check the whois operated by the registrar of record. I have seen where they didn't get the update to the master registry, but it is in fact renewed.
