Drop Times

[.edu]

Can anybody tell me the exact drop times for .com .net .info

Thanks in advance

Approx. 2:00 p.m. EST ... on the sixth day after "Pending Delete" status reflection in WhoIs.
:talk:

All the best!

Thanks Cool! So .info drops approx the same time as the .com's & nets?

I should have better clarified on that point ... am unsure if .INFO's are at the same general time as the .COM's and .NET's. My bad.
Hopefully we'll get some more input here shortly.
See you soon.

When I was going after .info names just a few months ago, these dropped at different times throughout the day. This was a pain, but meant that I was able to beat pool and namewinner with good old-fashioned hand-regs, since their advantage lies in snapping names the at the precise moment they are expected to drop. They can't run their algorithms the entire day, as something would probably break.

Good strategy, armstrong! Manual registrations can still beat multiple algorithms -- there is still hope.

I'd like to know the same.

And what about .org? Do these drop at the same time as .net and .com?

One more question: I'm after a .org domain. Whois shows the following:

Expiration Date:23-Jul-2004 20:57:18 UTC
Status:PENDING DELETE
Status:HOLD

I can'tget the point - when does it actually drop. If it's 23.07, how can it be "pending delete" ??

I assume we won't able to do this once WLS is full-fledge???
