Interesting WHOIS data...

[cssfx]

At the time of this post, I am searching domains expiring today (10-29-2014)... when I came across the following domain:

Domain Name: CODINGCLICKS.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, LLC
Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
Referral URL: http://registrar.godaddy.com
Name Server: NS67.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Name Server: NS68.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Status: pendingDelete
Updated Date: 23-oct-2014
Creation Date: 23-mar-2014
Expiration Date: 23-mar-2015


Can someone explain how that domain could be in pendingDelete status after less than a year?

What would be the purpose of this? I suppose with GoDaddy (and WHOIS privacy not being free to my knowledge), they may want to keep their info private without paying. Perhaps that is the reason? Are all registrars required to allow domain deletions?

Sometimes, people may want to drop domains early, for example when they realize the domain has possible TM issues.

I know of a godaddy domain that expires in May 2015. but it is in redemption. (updated 19 Oct)

the guy who had the name said he renewed it in early October, then asked for a refund.

If the owner canceled the domain within 5 days (name dot com) have a grace period - not sure about godaddy

A gTLD domain like CODINGCLICKS.COM, would enter pendingDelete status for 5 days immediately after being in Redemption Grace Period and not having been restored.

In the case of CODINGCLICKS.COM, the domain seems to have been deleted, then entered Redemption and now is in Pending Delete. The reasons for why it has been deleted can be best answered by either the owner of the domain or the Registrar.

Yes this is the apt answer!! Domain is deleted by the owner is the maximum possibility!!
