[KillerDomain]

hi, waiting on a .com domain name expiring, could anyone give an estiate when it should be available?

Currently says: pendingDelete - changed on 26-feb-2007 to this...

Updated Date: 26-feb-2007
Expiration Date: 16-dec-2006

When a domain name passes the expiration date, it enters a "grace" period, during which the current registrant can still renew. This grace period varies by registrar, but usually lasts from 30 to 45 days. It can be more or less depending on circumstances. The record usually reflects the status ON-HOLD during the grace period.

If the current registrant hasn't renewed the name when that period is over, the domain enters another 30 day period called REDEMPTION PERIOD. Again, if the current registrant does not have the domain name restored and renewed by the end of this period, the registry places the registration in DELETING status, and approximately five days later the domain name will become available.

Please note that the status labels are different for .org names. REDEMPTION PERIOD and DELETING statuses are combined but total approximately 35 to 36 days.

Thanks sunilvarma,

So in theory, the .com domain name should be available on; 3rd March ? Tomorrow some time?

Godaddy has the worst drop catch service there is! It would help if they had a live system! I have hand reged domains that people had godaddy backorders on :yell:
