question Deleted domain goes to pending delete or redemption or available for registration

[Leo2k]

If I delete a .info domain manually, will it go to pending delete or redemption period or available for registration immediately?

It depends how you delete it.

• If you grace delete it, it'll go back to being available for registration almost immediately.
• If you manually delete it, then it'll skip expired auctions and go straight to redemption period.
• If you let it expire, it might go to an expired auction first and then eventually to redemption period if no one bids on it.

This is the same for almost all domain extensions with few exceptions. The .info TLD is not one of those exceptions.

Either way, if you delete it, it won’t be available for registration immediately. The number of days before a backorder service can catch it, or before you can use that service, depends on your current registrar’s expiration policy.

Great. Thank you both for the info!

if the .info is a premium domain chances are someone will beat you to it,I guess your asking because of renewal price too high for 10.50 you can transfer .infos to networksolutions
