Domain status changed on name I have been watching.

[cslcpunk]

I have been waiting for to purchase a certain domain name at snapnames. It was in expiring domain status until 30 Dec 10. I went to it this morning and it is gone. My Godaddy backorder says it has changed name servers but showing as pending delete. What happend here? If it says order by 30 Dec 10, why has it moved? Whois still shows expired status with same dates just a different name server. Does this mean it is gone or do I have to look elsewhere for it? Any help would be appreciated.

what do the nameservers say? A lot of times the nameservers will be completely removed when it enters pending delete.

It went from: domain.renew (or similiar) at snapnames
New server is: 123-REG.CO.UK
Status is still showing in redemption period.
How has it changed servers/companies before the drop date? I thought once it was in that redemption/expired status nothing could change except for a renew. It isn't showing that the owner renewed it.

I did go to the new server 123-REG and it shows unavailable just like every other site.

The registrar is showing Tucows. But it was offered on snapnames, now on 123-REG. I haven't seen this before.

I was watching a domain at namejet and was surprised that it was being allowed to expire. Three days later it has been renewed for many years.
