When will domain drop?

[cricketer]

Hi everyone,

I'm interested in buying a domain that on the whois is set to expire on the 18th of September. It isn't really that popular a domain, more a version on our company name so I wouldn't expect it to be re-registered or snapped.

When can I expect to be able to get my greasy hands on it? It's registered with IARegistry.

Most domain drops are processed at about 1-2pm EST.

Add 45 days on top of the expiration date and that is when it will be available for reg, so you got pretty long time to wait. Heres the famous Snapnames diagram once again:

Good Luck

Thanks for the info. Didn't realise it was that long.

Oh well, another couple of dates to pen in the diary

Perhaps someone should sticky this url for further questions?

Just a follow-up..

I e-mailed the registrar and they said the current domain owner has 71 days after it expires to renew the domain name. After 78 days Verisign releases it to the public.

Would I be correct in assuming that if the domain is renewed for a year say on the 20th of October, that it actually renews for a year starting at September 18? Otherwise, I will be even more cross!

:bah: 78 days seems an awfully long time to click a few buttons anyway.

Once took me about 60 days to get a domain when it dropped, so yeah you have a while to wait.

BAD move IMO

The one I had been watching for quite some time was scheduled to drop today (after "Pending Delete" + 6 days/after approx. 2:00 p.m. EST) ... and I JUST manually registered it at 4:35 p.m. EST. :tu:

Pefect! :hearts:
