There's a grace period after expiration during which the registrant can still renew. It varies depending on the registrar and which tld you're talking about, but generally it's about 45 days. illusionist 12-30-2002, 01:07 PM dammit!:bawling: illusionist 12-30-2002, 01:09 PM is there no way around this? nameslave 12-30-2002, 04:24 PM Dammit?? You should be VERY HAPPY if the name you want will actually be available in 45 days or so. At least one registrar NEVER drops domain names in such a narrow time window. For instance, I have waited more than 18 months to get clonecity.com. Bladerunner 12-30-2002, 07:07 PM Tell me about it. I'm still waiting on a co.uk domain that is currently "Detagged" and according to WHOIS was last updated on 27-9-01 It's not really an important domain name but one the company I work for wouldn't mind getting their hands on Grrrrr Acroplex 12-30-2002, 08:27 PM Originally posted by nameslave For instance, I have waited more than 18 months to get clonecity.com. I can sell you ClonedCat.com really cheap :D nameslave 12-30-2002, 08:31 PM Sorry, I should have used the Past Perfect Tense: I HAD waited more than 18 months ... I finally got it. Thanks. ;) illusionist 12-31-2002, 03:08 AM yes yes....this all makes me feel a lot better.....:bawling: |
