Suspended Registration?

[domainer50]

I was searching dotster and found a .co.uk name. The name came up as available on dotster but not available on any other registrant. When i serched for whois, it said the name was suspended. What does this mean?

If I recall correctly, .co.uk domains which have expired are displayed as suspended.

Well, it comes up as registerable in dotster, but not in any of the other sites that i tried. Why is this?

It's probably a bug on Dotster's end.
Check nominet.org.uk for authoritative whois info.

It may be showing up as available to backorder. .uk names always drop 92 or 99 days after expiring incidentally

Is it an LL.**.uk domain? LL is not allowed anymore, (NL or LN still are though- and some are still unregistered).
I'm sure Dotster still shows LLs as available if searched for. (I can't access the nominet.org.uk whois at the moment to).

P.S. .co.uk/.me.uk/.org.uk domains are £2.95pa at ukreg.com (about $5pa) which trounces Dotster's $30pa
